I think we're waiting on Apple. 16:10:14 andrey-bbg has joined #css 16:10:39 hober: I'm gathering feedback. Overall it looks good and is an improvement. Two areas of concern, though this isn't final feedback, is difference between what we do and the new policy. When you ship a feature prefixed you should simulataniously ship unprefixed, that might change syntax. But that might be a big deal. 16:10:44 Rossen_web: Is this a must? 16:10:46 hober: Should 16:10:59 Florian: You must ship unprefixed, you should ship prefixed. 16:11:24 hober: Yeah. That's somethign we're still talking about. 16:11:39 hober: The second is the...let me pull up the draft... 16:11:44 https://drafts.csswg.org/css-2015/#responsible 16:11:59 present+ tantek 16:12:14 Florian: I misspoke. The wording is should for both prefix and unprefixed. 16:13:08 hober: The second bit is in market pressure and defacto standards [reads] The main concern is histically adding support for unprefixed and removing for prefixed are treated as sep. engineering decisions. One is based on stability and one is on compat. 16:13:15 present+ Tab Atkins 16:13:18 smfr has joined #css 16:13:25 present+ smfr 16:13:35 huh? unstable = ship unprefixed?!? 16:13:35 vollick has joined #css 16:13:47 wow this is confusing 16:14:21 Florian: To put some feedback on that in case the wording isn't clear, the intent would be is when you ship something unstable you ship it unprefixed and pref ship it prefixed. The preference is that the authors would use unprefixed unless there's a bug. That changes the model. IN the majority of cases the prefix would only be used to work around bugs and when you remove the bugs it would remove the compat hit. 16:14:44 Rossen_web: I don't quite agree. The prefix version in a majority of cases is to wait for other impl to catch up and for specs to mature. 16:14:54 q+ 16:15:06 Zakim? 16:15:11 Florian: Today yes. The way this is proposed for the future there is no reason to use prefixed when they're released simultaiously unless you're trying to be impl specific. 16:15:13 Zakim has joined #css 16:15:16 q+ 16:15:41 astearns: We're talking about an unstable prop that means it's impl in at least 3 UA and there's rough interop and the CSS has consensus it should exist. That's a different stable. 16:16:07 Florian: You may disagree with what's going on, but I wanted to clarify what's going on. If it's clear and you disagree that's a different discussion. 16:16:22 hober: Personally I'm fine. It's should which is like must unless you have a good reason. 16:16:33 MaRakow has joined #CSS 16:16:39 smfr: The spec needs a word for unstable but follows the three interop 16:16:40 present+ MaRakow 16:17:57 fantasai: It uses it for a spec that is unstable. So the spec is unstable but we have these thigns happening. We only have rough interop. THe spec is out of date or incomplete or there's a ton of open issues, but we have all these people shipping. There will be problems because the spec isn't finished. This is like the transforms and transitions case where stuff was still changing and people were still implementing and there were all these issues. 16:18:23 fantasai: We do need to be a bit more clear, but there's this stage where the spec is moving to stable and there are a bunch more impl, but the spec isn't finished yet and might change. 16:18:52 Florian: WE shouldn't use a word that means unstable and matches all those criteria above. So if you ship something that doesn't match the criteria you should still take this approach. 16:20:15 tantek: a couple of points. I think the first problem is in our convo of what means unstable vs interop. If we're using unstable we should use what an author would consider unstable instead of a spec impl definition. If something works across most places they'll ignore that the WG thinks that it's unstable. I think that needs to get reaccessed. 16:21:04 tantek: I understand the intention that changing the meaning of when you ship prefix vs unprefix is a good intention, but transitioning to that model will be so confusing and I think authors will just say screw it and use both. If the goal is to try and get out of this problem situation I don't think that approach will work. 16:21:12 tantek: I don't have an alternative to suggest. 16:21:38 tantek: So first point, use of unstable needs to be author centric definition. Second is changing the meaning of prefix and unprefix is good intention but will fail. 16:22:32 Florian: second, I wouldn't be surprised people will be confused and use both, but I don't think it will cause problems. If people sue both the unprefixed is in the style sheet so vendors can remove the prefixed. So I think it will be misused, but I don't thinkt hat's causing problems. 16:22:52 tantek: Not causing problems isn't a high enough bar. If you say this path will improve the situation that's good. 16:23:03 antenna has joined #css 16:23:04 Florian: I think that when this is misused it isn't going to be a problem. 16:23:12 tantek: So how about not preventing improvement. 16:23:19 Florian: How does this prevent improvement? 16:23:45 TabAtkins, "shorthand" is also mislinking to cascade-4 ED 16:23:52 tantek: I'm trying to encourage you to re-word your arguement in a stronger way. It sounds like you are close to demoing that the misuse won't prevent the improvement and in that case it's reasonable to move forward. 16:24:14 -goodenoug-cascade-4 16:24:26 Florian: I think it won't prevent the improvement where vendors can remove the prefixed version once the bugs are ironed out because there will be no risk to removing the prefix. 16:25:03 tantek: I think you need to put that into the spec. What if authors use both? And then put what you said. And that will demo why impl should use this new policy. I think that's a strong argument and it should be clear. 16:25:10 tantek: Does that make sense to everyone else? 16:25:22 fantasai: Hm, I think I do the "remove anchors from older versions of the spec" step before I do the "prefer TR-level anchors when generating TR-level specs". 16:25:25 ack tantek 16:25:48 astearns: I think some of the argument is in the section, but it can be improved. So I'm hearing we need to clarify what we mean by unstable and clarify why this change in prefixing policy is a good thing. So we can get that and circle around. 16:26:08 action Florian to improve the note explaining why the prefixing policy change is good 16:26:08 Created ACTION-722 - Improve the note explaining why the prefixing policy change is good [on Florian Rivoal - due 2015-09-23]. 16:26:24 Are authors supposed to list the prefixed versions of properties last? 16:26:28 action fantasai fix up the termonology around 'unstable' 16:26:28 Created ACTION-723 - Fix up the termonology around 'unstable' [on Elika Etemad - due 2015-09-23]. 16:26:43 tantek: I'd ask leaverou_away what she thinks unstable means when authoring. 16:26:55 astearns: hober you're still collecting feedback. Do you know when you'll be done? 16:26:57 hober: No offhand. 16:27:46 Rossen_web: We're still collecting too so I'm sure this won't be the last time we discuss it. Ideally the changes we're discussing will come about soon so we don't have to go back for another few weeks to circle back on this set of changes. It would be helpful to start stabilizing the subject. 16:28:03 Florian: Yes. This is a change in termonology and a note. This isn't changing the actual policy. 16:28:07 Rossen_web: They are still changes. 16:28:12 Florian: I'll get to it soon. 16:28:13 "Unstable" = not ready for general use, features/syntax might change. 16:28:17 Topic: Writing Mode Issues 16:28:39 fantasai: Koji sent a couple in.

Not that one. For some impl that need to support old writing modes values in SVG syntax but not CSS they could map over using UA style rule. I was going to add an example. 16:29:50 https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2015Aug/0061.html 16:29:52 fantasai: Main one that's open is this one. Orientation of an
