Re: Atom Bidi Draft Update - Informal Last Call

2007-03-28 Thread James M Snell

Yeah, I know, but I personally have a preference towards having more
implementations available... especially since we're talking about a
draft that updates the core Atom spec with a new attribute.

I'd be fine with this also.  There's no immediate rush for this but it
would be excellent if implementors could start taking a look at it.

I don't think we are in a hurry to move the draft to an RFC, so, can the draft 
be held in the "Draft" stage and issue a call for implementations? The future 
of the draft should be based on the implementation reports received.

There is no need for implementations when going to Proposed Standard
(of course, they never hurt). There is a well-defined need when going
from Proposed Standard to Draft Standard, but that's way in the future.

James,

Why are you going to recommend that for publication as an experimental or 
informational draft, but not a Proposed Standard?

It is not year clear if there has been enough independent implementation
of the specification to justify publishing it as a proposed standard.

Atom Bidi Draft Update - Informal Last Call

2007-03-22 Thread James M Snell

I have posted an updated version of the Atom Bidi Draft.  The only
significant difference is a notice about direction guess algorithms.

  http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-snell-atompub-bidi-03.txt

I have implemented support for this specification in Abdera and in IBM's
updated internal blogging environment.

The specification adds a new attribute "dir" to the set of common
attribute attributes within the Atom namespace.  The dir attribute
specifies the default directionality of language-sensitive text within
an Atom document.

example,

http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"; dir="rtl">
  ...


At this point, I intend to request a formal last call on the document
and recommend it for publication as an experimental or informational draft.

Feedback is requested.
