W3C and the CSS Working Group publish information about the specifications under development in various ways. This page is the working group's weblog (blog). Other places to find information are the “current work” page, the www-style mailing list.
Resolved: David Baron's proposal accepted as editorially amended by fantasai.
Rationale:
Authors are used to CSS allowing spaces almost everywhere, and will most likely expect them to work here as well. Alsocalc() will either allow or require spaces, and :nth-child()'s syntax should be consistent with that.
Resolved:: Copy attribute selector wording from Selectors into CSS2.1 to resolve incompatibility.
Resolved:: *=, ~=, ^=, $= all accept the empty string, but match nothing. Note that this overrides a previous resolution which stated that such attribute selectors are invalid.
Rationale:: These selectors are meaningless. This resolution matches existing implementations for ~=, which was introduced in CSS2.1, and makes *=, ^=, and $=, which were introduced in Level 3, consistent with that.
