I'm not sure if this is the right tag for this, but there is a del tag
which might be a better alternative to strike.

You can make patchfiles which include multiple files instead of making
a zip file which adds an extra step for reviewers.
cvs diff -uF^f misc/drupal.css includes/locale.inc.

locale.inc:


Uses the deprecated element <strike> - should be changed to <span
style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">


Uses the deprecated attribute nowrap - should be changed to
style="white-space: nowrap;"


Also, method="POST" should be changed to method="post".


Applying these changes makes the 'manage strings' results page validate
as XHTML 1.0 strict.

I'd prefer to see the styling done in drupal.css, rather than inline. +1
for the fix, -1 for the implementation.

You are absolutely right. This patch fixes locale.inc.

...and this one adds the styles to drupal.css.

Better, but where did the CSS go? ;) Furthermore, I like semantic markup
better, ie. <em class="locale-untranslated"> instead of using spans.

+1 for the CSS/class solution.


maybe the class "locale-nowrap" could become a more general class
"nowrap" as this could be used in more locations, eg in drupal:


modules/statistics.module:        array('data' =>
format_date($log->timestamp, 'small'), 'nowrap' => 'nowrap'),
modules/statistics.module:        array('data' =>
format_date($log->timestamp, 'small'), 'nowrap' => 'nowrap'),
modules/statistics.module:      array('data' =>
format_date($log->timestamp, 'small'), 'nowrap' => 'nowrap'),


"locale-untranslated" is locale.module dependent, so that one is ok.

You have put 'style' => 'nowrap' instead of 'class' => 'nowrap' on all
locations. Small thinko I suppose.
If that's fixed => +1 from me.
