390440 - list-style-type: armenian doesn't correspond to CSS3 Lists spec

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Simon Montagu :smontagu]

See http://www.w3.org/International/tests/results/results-list-style-type-armenian

Numbering is as for upper-armenian in CSS3 Lists module as of date of test, with two exceptions described below. CSS3 equates the armenian value with lower-armenian, so this is not what is expected for CSS3.

   1. Armenian numbering supported until 9999 only. European digits after that.
   2. Seven thousand is represented as Ւ rather than ՈՒ.

I'm not sure whether the CSS3 Lists module is correct here. See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2007Aug/0016.html

This has recently been discussed on the Unicode list. For the “resolution”, see http://www.unicode.org/mail-arch/unicode-ml/y2009-m02/0037.html

CSS3 Lists has been changed, and wrt issues 1 and 2 in comment 0 our implementation now corresponds to the spec. The WG has also adopted a "tentative resolution" that "armenian" maps to "upper-armenian". If that is confirmed, this will become retroactively INVALID.
