Categories: resolutions

Resolved: Make control characters visible. (This will be consistent with Unicode, but will break backwards-compatibility on the Web.)
Resolved: Text shaping MUST be broken across inline element boundaries when:
- A: one of margin/border/padding are non-zero
- B: vertical-align is not baseline
- C: it is a bidi isolation boundary
- Text shaping MUST NOT be broken across inline element boundaries when there is no change in formatting.
- Text shaping SHOULD NOT be broken across inline element boundaries otherwise, if it is reasonable and possible for that case given the limitations of the font technology.
- See original e-mail for further details
Resolved: No change for issue 59

Plan to defer longhands of display to the next level; this will allow restricting combinations of display-inside and display-outside that are difficult to implement at this time.
Discussed open issues with box-suppress, including details that need to be defined for the hide value and how this interacts with visibility and speak. This section needs more work.

Resolved: Accepted Bert’s proposed wording for CSS2.1 erratum on interaction of display: none and the root background

Resolved: Add caret-color to css3-ui
A desire to color the background/foreground of selected text lead to a conversation about bringing ::selection back and potential issues with exposing security-sensitive items (such as spell-check)
Resolved: Add ::selection to Pseudo-elements 4.
Resolved: Outline corners follow border-radius (no additional outline-radius property needed)
