Discussed the duplication of data (specifically, the form of computed values, which appears both in the Computed Value and Animatable lines) in propdef tables and what to do about it.

Deferring proposal for a joiner pattern in repeat() for now.
Removing grid-auto-position property and grid-auto-flow: none value. Adding new stack value (stacks items into first empty grid slot) instead. (Initial value is ‘row’; Win8 apps might need ‘stack’ specified in the UA style sheet.)
Grid Layout is considered design complete at this stage, and anyone planning to send feedback review it at the high level. Next phase will be working out exact details and wording of layout algorithms, etc.

It was agreed that we have too many issue-tracking systems at the moment. However since they all suck (in different ways), there was no consensus on moving to a single tracker.
Resolved: Be more vigilant about specs actually declaring their issue tracking style.

Resolved: Publish CSS3-Background as LC with missing edit, 3-week LC period.

Resolved: Drop definition of extended CJK counter styles (i.e. numbering beyond 10K) because people can’t agree on when to drop ones and zeroes.
Resolved: Counter Styles to CR, once Tab finishes off the Disposition of Comments.

Discussed status of Transitions. A bunch of issues need to move to other specs.
Resolved: Remove the paint server definition from Transitions, deferring to the Images definition for transitioning values.
Resolved: Remove the gradient animation text from Transitions.

Resolved: Remove bit about waiting for document load event before starting animations.

Discussed :has() vs. subject indicator. Plan to poll authors.
Went through Selectors spec to determine what to keep. Plan to defer: reference combinator, :local-link().
The following are scheduled for further investigation:
- :drop()
- :-moz-ui-valid
- :read-write
- column combinator
Resolved: Complex selectors in :matches/:not to move to fast profile, assuming bz agrees.
Resolved: Drop :nth-match(), move functionality to :nth-child().
Still need a better name for :blank.
