- Topic: Gradient issues
- 16:07:18 [Zakim]
- +Bert
- 16:07:27 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: Mainly issues we didn't close on at F2F
- 16:07:29 [Zakim]
- -bradk
- 16:07:50 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: First item is repeating gradients, whether they should be done by repeating syntax in gradient functions, or by background-repeat magic

- 16:08:28 [Zakim]
- +bradk
- 16:08:30 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: Other issue is gradient keywords, i've now set the keyword 'to' and either a side or corner
- 16:08:34 [plinss]
- zakim, who is noisy?
- 16:08:37 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: e.g. 'to bottom left'
- 16:08:37 [bradk]

- + +1.650.618.aahh
- 16:08:45 [Zakim]
- plinss, listening for 10 seconds I heard sound from the following: smfr (24%), TabAtkins_ (34%)
- 16:08:58 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: Put keywords back and made keywords magic again
- 16:09:05 [fantasai]
- Florian is happy with this too
- 16:09:15 [fantasai]
- s/keywords/corners/
- 16:09:36 [Zakim]
- + +1.415.832.aaii
- 16:09:38 [fantasai]
- smfr: I think it's ok, but why not use 'from' and make the 'from' optional so we have compat with the old syntax?
- 16:09:48 [vhardy]
- vhardy has joined #css
- 16:09:54 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: Using 'from' rather than 'to' would give the opposite directionalitiy thing that confused people
- 16:09:59 [fantasai]
- smfr: Only some people
- 16:10:51 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: Since we're changing behavior for corner to corner, so ...
- 16:11:23 [fantasai]
- fantasai: I think this is also confusing, with 'to left' I'm not sure whether a fixed-length gradient is attached to the left or right edge -- I would guess right edge
- 16:11:30 [fantasai]
- Florian: Think this is good enough
- 16:12:19 [fantasai]
- fantasai: Another question is animating the gradients, given corners aren't equivalent to angle gradients anymore?
- 16:12:37 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: They're still equivalent
- 16:13:07 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: It's just a different angle
- 16:13:33 [fantasai]
- computation
- 16:14:13 [fantasai]
- bradk: Does the spec take into account that changing the angle changes if the box size changes?
- 16:14:25 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: yes. More details to in css4-images -- I pushed animations out of L3
- 16:14:38 [fantasai]
- bradk: How is it defined now?
- 16:14:49 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: Right now images aren't animatable at all, rules are pushed to L4
- 16:15:09 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: Since I pushed cross-fade() to L4, you can't do generic animations for images anyway, so pushed gradient animations out too
- 16:15:42 [fantasai]
- plinss: If you're animating the width and height of a box independently and using corner-to-corner gradient, you are by definition of the gradient angle?
- 16:16:10 [fantasai]
- plinss: If you're then simultaneously animating angle of gradient.. if you compute start point and endpoint, might have animation go retrograde
- 16:16:14 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: Yeah, that should not happen.
- 16:16:20 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: have similar problems in other situations
- 16:16:31 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: At each step you need to recalculate your range
- 16:16:41 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: Different than snapshotting values at the beginning
- 16:17:03 [fantasai]
- Florian: You set your course, and your percentage done changes over time
- 16:17:08 [fantasai]
- plinss: Back to keywords issue
- 16:17:22 [fantasai]
- fantasai: Would like to push to WD and see if we get any comments
- 16:17:42 [fantasai]
- bradk: I like what's happening in linear gradient, still trying to give full review to radial gradients
- 16:17:46 [fantasai]
- bradk: Not ready for LC yet
- 16:17:52 [Zakim]

- Zakim, ??P7 is me
- 16:18:10 [Zakim]
- +danielweck; got it
- 16:18:49 [fantasai]
- Florian: The default for linear gradients has been downward for a long time, which is now either 'to bottom' or '180deg'
- 16:18:58 [fantasai]
- Florian: Usually default is 0deg or top
- 16:19:15 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: He's suggesting that we flip the default around they colors start at the bottom and go upward
- 16:19:31 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: I don't have a problem with this, but don't have a particular reason to change. It's been default for awhile
- 16:19:46 [fantasai]
- bradk: Fallback is still reasonable, because we're changing the syntax
- 16:19:53 [fantasai]
- fantasai: We're not changing that part of the syntax
- 16:20:12 [fantasai]
- fantasai: I think the default should stay. I think from the top makes the most sense
- 16:20:42 [fantasai]
- bradk: Wouldn't changing it mess up prefixed versions?
- 16:20:53 [fantasai]
- fantasai: dbaron already said he won't do that
- 16:21:30 [fantasai]
- plinss: In general we're not going to not make a good change to a property because of prefixed versions
- 16:21:57 [fantasai]
- plinss: If it doesn't matter much, sure, but in general don't want to consider prefixed versions
- 16:22:09 [fantasai]
- Florian: Since there's no consensus to change, let's leave as-is
- 16:22:13 [fantasai]
- smfr: Mark as an issue?
- 16:22:24 [fantasai]
- smfr: Do we need direction keywords that are writing-mode-aware?
- 16:23:10 [fantasai]
- Florian: And bidi-aware, too
- 16:23:40 [fantasai]
- Florian: Should we add that to writing-modes?
- 16:23:52 [fantasai]
- fantasai: No, belongs in the appropriate module. writing-modes only deals with CSS2.1 issues
- 16:24:21 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: Could add them. Although the keywords are a bit weird, e.g. 'to start before'.
- 16:24:30 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: Would like to see some examples of this
- 16:24:48 [fantasai]
- bradk: Gradient from black to white from top to bottom, and reversed-color headline at the top
- 16:25:30 [fantasai]
- fantasai: Example of sidebar menu items with horizontal gradient that fades out towards the end edge. Would want that logical as well
- 16:26:09 [fantasai]
- Florian: [something about writing modes dependency]
- 16:26:18 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: Don't believe I need any keywords from writing modes
- 16:26:42 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: Could maybe refer to 2.1
- 16:26:44 [florian]
- Yes
- 16:27:02 [fantasai]
- fantasai: Nothing in 2.1, but if it becomes an issue we could pull out a glossary from writing-modes and publish it as a WG Note or something
- 16:27:22 [fantasai]
- RESOLVED: Add logical keywords to gradients
- 16:28:00 [fantasai]
- RESOLVED: Publish next WD with 'to <keyword>' syntax
- 16:28:10 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: back to repeating gradient issue
- 16:28:23 [fantasai]
- bradk: Already made my case. Not keep arguing it
- 16:28:37 [fantasai]
- bradk: Someday we'll have background-rotate, and it will just be redundant
- 16:29:27 [fantasai]
- some muttering about issue syntax
- 16:29:36 [fantasai]
- s/syntax/wording/
- 16:29:53 [fantasai]
- RESOLVED: No change to how repeating gradients are handled (use repeat-* functions)
- 16:30:42 [fantasai]
- RESOLVED: Publish updated WD of css3-images with these changes
- 16:31:02 [fantasai]
- Topic: CSS Speech LCWD
- 16:31:06 [danielweck]
- I am on a high-latency and generally slow wifi connection (scrambled VoIP audio),
- 16:31:06 [danielweck]
- so I will be dumping IRC text while I speak.
- 16:31:29 [danielweck]
- All of the issues that were raised for CSS-SPEECH on the public mailing list
- 16:31:29 [danielweck]
- have now been addressed in the specification.
- 16:31:45 [danielweck]
- I would like to renew my thanks to Fantasai for finding problems,
- 16:31:45 [danielweck]
- and in helping to design solutions too ;)
- 16:31:55 [danielweck]
- The editors' working draft is ready for Last Call publication,
- 16:31:55 [danielweck]
- and contains the full list of changes since the last public Working Draft (April 2011).

- 16:32:30 [danielweck]
- any objections?
- 16:33:00 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: I haven't given it a thorough review, but I know fantasai has, so I trust that.
- 16:33:10 [fantasai]
- smfr: I have no objection, but I'm concerned about making a test suite
- 16:33:18 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: I know someone suggested audio reftests shoudl be possible.
- 16:33:58 [danielweck]
- I saw the discussion about tests, but wanted to focus on fixing the spec first
- 16:34:09 [fantasai]
- fantasai: And we can always use human-verifiable tests. Not automatable, but still testable.
- 16:34:17 [fantasai]
- plinss: Any reasons not to publish?
- 16:34:36 [fantasai]
- RESOLVED: Publish LCWD of css3-speech
- 16:34:44 [danielweck]
- yes.
- 16:34:52 [fantasai]
- fantasai: How long is the LC period, and which other WGs to contact?
- 16:34:56 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: Accessibility TF
- 16:34:57 [danielweck]
- (yes to contacting other groups)
- 16:35:05 [danielweck]
- HTML-Speech
- 16:35:11 [danielweck]
- Voice Browser (SSML )
- 16:35:12 [fantasai]
- fantasai: Voice Browser group?
- 16:35:21 [fantasai]
- fantasai: yes, definitely SSML :)
- 16:36:17 [danielweck]
- my previous email
- 16:36:19 [danielweck]
- - The "Voice Browser" Working Group [1] published SSML1.1 [2], so we should definitely ask them to review CSS3-Speech.
- 16:36:19 [danielweck]
- - The "HTML Speech" Incubator Group [3] maintains a W3C Note [4] that explicitly refers to CSS3-Speech effort, so we should contact them too.
- 16:36:20 [danielweck]
- - Given the likelihood of CSS3-Speech being used with/by assistive technologies, I suggest involving the WAI [5] folks as well.

- fantasai: Organizational overhaul, fix issues that have outstanding edits for past two years, sync with 2.1
- 16:39:06 [Zakim]
- +stearns
- 16:39:13 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: This isn't theoreticaly, fantasai and I went ahead and did the majority of the work we'd like to see done
- 16:39:45 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: We created a patch queue that could be applied to show what we'd like to see out of the draft
- 16:40:09 [fantasai]
- fantaai: We didn't change any of the features, just fixed up the definitions
- 16:40:18 [fantasai]
- howcome: I believe dbaron and clilley are co-editors as well
- 16:40:32 [fantasai]
- howcome: It also affects SVG, not sure it's up to us to just take it
- 16:40:35 [danielweck]
- danielweck has joined #css
- 16:40:47 [fantasai]
- howcome: Very important spec for other modules, don't necessarily think we can bring it to closure

- 16:41:01 [fantasai]
- howcome: You've gone through this?

- howcome: You did the definitions that's in there for calc(), right?
- 16:41:29 [fantasai]
- dbaron: I might've written some of it
- 16:41:45 [fantasai]

- Zakim, ??P7 is me
- 16:41:52 [Zakim]
- +danielweck; got it
- 16:41:59 [fantasai]
- howcome: we saw for example the hyphenation things that we had a lot of unnecessary conflicts as a result of that change
- 16:42:09 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: We're not trying to change any features.
- 16:42:19 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: Any conflicts would be about more basic definitions that should be nailed down in any case
- 16:42:39 [fantasai]
- howcome: You plan to take it to CR?
- 16:42:41 [fantasai]
- fantasai: yes
- 16:42:52 [fantasai]
- howcome: What if a spec needs other values?
- 16:43:04 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: Can define it themself. And if it's a common value type, push it to Values Level 4
- 16:43:13 [fantasai]
- plinss: Sounds like a reasonable path forward.
- 16:43:21 [fantasai]
- plinss: Would like to not keep this in ED forever
- 16:43:37 [fantasai]
- howcome: I'm just concerned about making lots of substantial changes
- 16:44:11 [Zakim]
- -danielweck
- 16:44:19 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: We think the features are fine, just reorganized a bit and updated definitions
- 16:44:28 [fantasai]
- howcome: I think there's issues with calc()
- 16:44:33 [fantasai]
- howcome: Not sure about implementations
- 16:44:39 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: We're in the middle of implementing
- 16:44:48 [Zakim]
- +??P7
- 16:44:50 [fantasai]
- dbaron: And IE's implement it too
- 16:45:04 [fantasai]

- Zakim, ??P7 is me
- 16:45:06 [Zakim]
- +danielweck; got it
- 16:45:27 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: Again, since we're not actually changing any features, shouldn't be an issue. Although if SVGWG wants to add stuff to the draft, then good to get that feedback
- 16:45:35 [dbaron]

- fantasai: The only feature change we did was to add dbaron's cycle() proposal to the draft; there was an open action on that since Jan 2009
- 16:47:17 [fantasai]
- plinss: Not hearing any objections to adding you-guys as co-editors
- 16:47:47 [fantasai]
- plinss: Ready to publish WD?
- 16:48:04 [fantasai]
- fantasai: dbaron just pointed to some resolutions on calc(), need to make sure they're folded in
- 16:48:11 [fantasai]
- dbaron: I think they have been folded in, but prose could use some work
- 16:48:19 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: So let's look at publishing next week
- 16:48:34 [fantasai]
- Topic: HTML talking about paragraphs pseudo-element selector?
- 16:48:58 [dbaron]
- Also, there was a resolution somewhere on making certain things at-risk.
- 16:49:02 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: Bug was on HTML for allowing styling of anonymous blocks created by block-in-inline split
- 16:49:05 [hober]
- <div>para1<ul><li>foo</li></ul>para2</div>
- 16:49:17 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: So you could give it padding, margin, etc.
- 16:49:29 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: Guessing what it means is that ::paragraph would match all anonymous block children of an element
- 16:49:44 [hober]
- div ::paragraph matches para1 and para2 above
- 16:49:47 [fantasai]
- plinss: Is this something we want to accept? Where would ot go?
- 16:50:14 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: The pseudo-element section of Selectors?
- 16:50:14 [dbaron]
- http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Sep/0003.html has resolutions on marking things in values at risk
- 16:50:32 [fantasai]
- fantasai: There isn't one anymore. Could add it to CSS3 Box.
- 16:50:51 [fantasai]
- fantasai: That's what defines where boxes are generated
- 16:51:15 [fantasai]
- RESOLVED: Assign this as an issue to the box module
- 16:51:19 [plinss]
- http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12778
- 16:51:25 [dbaron]
- fantasai, you're planning to land the css3-values patch queue as separate commits, right?
- 16:51:34 [fantasai]
- dbaron, yes :)
- 16:52:14 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: Is this the best way for HTMLWG to send comments to CSSWG?
- 16:52:19 [fantasai]
- fantasai: Did they email www-style?
- 16:52:29 [fantasai]
- fantasai: They should post a message to www-style, just like everyone else.
- 16:52:46 [fantasai]
- plinss: If they want to make sure we get to it, they can CC the internal list or put it on the agenda so we discuss it on the call
- 16:53:34 [fantasai]
- Topic: flow-from()
- 16:53:56 [fantasai]
- plinss: Alex sent an email about content: flow-from() vs flow-from: property
- 16:54:07 [fantasai]
- Alex: We discussed what the right property for making something a region
- 16:54:18 [fantasai]
- Alex: We decided that we like content: flow-from() more than property flow-from:
- 16:54:26 [fantasai]
- Alex: At the moment it sounded totally syntactical
- 16:54:33 [fantasai]
- Alex: Looks like difference is even more
- 16:54:39 [fantasai]
- Alex: The 'content' property is part of generated content
- 16:54:45 [fantasai]
- Alex: Includes ::before and ::after
- 16:54:57 [fantasai]
- Alex: That property is what is supposed to put content in the box, not change the nature of the box
- 16:55:09 [fantasai]
- Alex: It's not whatever layout it was anymore, it's a viewport into something else
- 16:55:32 [fantasai]
- Alex: It's still possible to parse the property and if the only thing it has is flow-from() then that particular value overrides ::before and ::after
- 16:55:41 [vhardy]
- http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-css-wg/2011JulSep/0164.html
- 16:55:43 [fantasai]
- Alex: and changes layout model
- 16:56:02 [fantasai]
- Alex: I feel pity for content property that it gets such a weird definition
- 16:56:13 [vhardy]
- response from Elika: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-css-wg/2011JulSep/0165.html
- 16:56:32 [fantasai]
- plinss: I think having ::before and ::after work in regions is valuables
- 16:56:34 [vhardy]
- response from Vincent: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-css-wg/2011JulSep/0171.html
- 16:56:35 [stearns]
- +1 to using before and after in regions
- 16:57:10 [fantasai]
- vhardy: We had a long discussion about ::before and ::after, because we had talked about having these continue-before / continue-after markers
- 16:57:31 [fantasai]
- vhardy: Our proposals are to have different pseudos that have a different processing model, that are exclusions
- 16:57:42 [fantasai]
- vhardy: It's different from ::before and ::after
- 16:58:16 [fantasai]
- ...
- 16:58:23 [fantasai]
- Alex: Generic ::before and ::after is not really helpful
- 16:58:29 [fantasai]
- bradk: What about ::marker?
- 16:58:36 [fantasai]
- bradk: Isn't that equivalently a problem?
- 16:58:55 [fantasai]
- Alex: vhardy said his preference is still content: flow-from(). My preference is flow-from:
- 16:59:25 [fantasai]
- Alex: content property can have fallbacks. If one of those is a flow-from(), then first we have to visit all the URLs.
- 16:59:30 [fantasai]
- first
- 16:59:36 [fantasai]
- Alex: Unless flow-from() has to be its only value
- 16:59:52 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: You said that a region is not a normal element, like it becomes a viewport onto this embedded document
- 17:00:03 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: Wouldn't that indicate that the 'display' property is appropriate?
- 17:00:15 [fantasai]
- Alex: It would make sense for display-inside to have a region value
- 17:00:24 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: Then that seems like an appropriate way to do this
- 17:00:56 [fantasai]
- vhardy: So your suggestion is display-inside: flow-from(..) ?
- 17:01:02 [fantasai]
- Alex: ...
- 17:01:12 [fantasai]
- Alex: Region has to say that it ignores ::before and ::after
- 17:01:39 [smfr]
- am I hearing "display: region"?
- 17:02:12 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: Having a value for display makes more sense to me, clearer that it has all these other side-effects
- 17:02:37 [fantasai]
- Alex: Should we make css3-regions be the pioneer for display-inside?
- 17:02:44 [fantasai]
- bradk: What does a new display type gain you?
- 17:02:58 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: The significant switch is that 'display' is very clear that this is doing something very different
- 17:03:22 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: ... something about conflict resolution ...
- 17:03:34 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: If 'display' is the switch, then you won't ever have conflicts, it's only one type of display or another
- 17:03:44 [fantasai]
- bradk: Is it just because of ::marker?
- 17:03:57 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: yes, but also it's changing how you display what's inside of you
- 17:04:19 [fantasai]
- Alex: Display property says what it is, and content property says what it has
- 17:04:41 [fantasai]
- smfr: If you have display: region; how do you say what model you're using?
- 17:05:02 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: You'd need display-inside
- 17:05:24 [smfr]
- someone is breathing into their phone
- 17:05:45 [fantasai]
- fantasai suggests moving this discussion to www-style
- 17:06:18 [fantasai]
