Filed ISSUE-61 against CSS3 Fonts spec
John Daggett presented an overview of CSS3 Fonts including a discussion of:
- interpretation of mixed nested 'bolder' and 'lighter' keywords
- history of font formats used on the Web
- font-size-adjust
- extending font-variant
- security issues with downloadable fonts
- Discussed structure of GCPM and its relationshp to other drafts.
- Discussed
border-length feature, alternative syntaxes, and moving it to Backgrounds and Borders
- Discussed
text-replacement proposal. Several members strongly feel it does not belong in CSS but rather as part of a transformation language that uses CSS syntax.
- Discussed
bookmark feature. Several members are skeptical that this belongs in CSS as it's conveying semantic, not stylistic, information.
- Discussed extensions to
float.
Vertical Text
- Resolved: Split out veritcal text feature into its own draft. Microsoft plans to work on this spec as they already have an implementation.
- Discussed terminology for describing vertical text layout model.
- Resolved: Rename
block-progression to block-flow
- Resolved: Use terms "logical width" and "logical height" to refer to the inline dimension and block flow dimension of a box respectively.
- Resolved: Use terms "vertical text mode" and 'horizontal text mode" to differentiate horizontal and vertical block flows.
- Resolved: No keywords in calc() for
background-position
- Resolved: Accept 4-value syntax for
background-position in editor's draft: 4 values that require two keywords, allow zero values to be skipped.
- Resolved: Proposal to add
transparent keyword to border-image rejected. (ISSUE-28)
- Resolved: No change to names of
background-clip and background-origin
- Resolved: Publish new Working Draft of CSS3 Backgrounds and Borders, take this set of functionality to CR.
CSS Variables
- Daniel presented some changes to the CSS Variables proposal and Hyatt's experimental implementation in WebKit.
- Several people felt that parse-time macros would be preferable, and would indeed be required for handling multi-declaration substitution.
Miscellaneous
- Mentioned styling of video controls, skipped topic for lack of proposal or implementor interest.
- Very long discussion of
<br> and how it behaves in the CSS formatting model.
