http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-text/#tab-size defines a 'tab-size' property taking an integer to be multiplied by the advance width of the space (U+0020) character. However, http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-values/#font-relative-lengths defines the 'ch' unit as using the advance width of the '0' (U+0030) character, which I believe was the result of implementation experience that '0' produced good results for sizing in proportional fonts, and made no difference in monospace fonts. (I think that implementation experience related specifically to sizing of text inputs.) Should 'tab-size' instead use the '0' width rather than the ' ' width? I think I would prefer such a change. -David -- 𝄞 L. David Baron http://dbaron.org/ 𝄂 𝄢 Mozilla http://www.mozilla.org/ 𝄂
