Description

HTML5 is proposing changes to the markup used for internationalization of web pages. They include character encoding declarations, language declarations, ruby, and the new elements and attributes for bidi support. HTML5 is still very much work in progress, and these topics are still under discussion. The talk aims to spread awareness of proposed changes so that people can participate in the discussion.
