Hello,

We need to discuss this proposal before adding it to the specification.

My response above, that I would add text-align:right, size: landscape, and
list-style-type, was based on the thought that these requests were part of
the original request made at the November 5, 2002 meeting (See
http://www.pwg.org/xhtml-print/minutes/Minutes-November-2002.html).
However, when I reread those materials
(http://www.pwg.org/xhtml-print/minutes/xhtml-avc.pdf and
http://www.pwg.org/xhtml-print/minutes/CSSprintenhanced-XHTMLforDTVprint.pdf
) I do not see a request for these values.

I think that we must discuss whether these values should be added or not and
that members of the working group must decide.  

The value "right" for text-align has not included in the CSS Print Profile
because it is thought to be too complex for low cost printers.

The value "landscape" for the size property has, also, not been included in
the CSS Print Profile because low cost printer may not have enough memory to
rotate a page from portrait to landscape.

The values of "lower latin" and "upper latin" for the list-style-type have
not been include, but I do not know the reasoning.  Perhaps someone from the
working group can indicate why these have not been part of the
specification.
