Now, I cannot list the example sites immediately. Because many sites changed the style, maybe for Fx. E.g., Mixi which is most popular SNS site in Japan is using WBR hack for URLs. (Of course, this is not good thing.) And Slashdot Japan uses overflow:auto; for paragraph, it is better approach, but it makes horizontal scrollbar. Japanese language can break everywhere except a few exceptions. I.e., we are breaking words always. So, for us, the old rule (only breaks around SPACE) is strange. Because some points (around punctuations and parentheses), we can look as breakable points. # This issue is blamed from both designers and users in Japan. ## jp-critial has two meanings: ## 1. Really critical bugs, e.g., cannot use IME. ## 2. Marketing strategy, e.g., some bugs are important (only?) in Japan, but not so in bugzilla.mozilla.org. -- Masayuki Nakano <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Manager, Internationalization, Mozilla Japan.
