Do you want to know how the CSS WG works? Fantasai has written about:csswg, An Inside View of the CSS Working Group at W3C.
Philippe Le Hégaret, W3C’s Interaction Domain Leader, presented on the metrics W3C Management (W3M) has about the CSSWG’s progress over the past charter period. Discussed what was accomplished and whether that fits with the CSSWG’s own interests and priorities.
position: grid
to pull descendant elements up into an ancestor grid.
auto
offsets meaning use padding edge of containing block.
grid-definition-*
and grid-template
properties to grid-template-[rows|columns|areas]
and look into defining grid-template
as a shorthand for all three, using syntax similar to that in the Template module.
grid-auto-flow: row
the default, which turns all grid container children into grid items and auto-flows them (similar to Flexbox). Issue still open for future discussion.
Tab and fantasai presented the new CSS Box Alignment draft, explaining changes in design and details since the earlier FPWD.
Principle: A change to a CSS3 spec that would make all CSS 2.1-compliant UAs incompliant needs to be backported to CSS2.1.
Note: If it would break content, we shouldn’t be making the change.
