[CSSWG] Summary and Resolutions June 2009 F2F Part II: Spec Issues

text-overflow
-------------

   RESOLVED: text-overflow in case of vertical overflow still only applies to
             individual lines that overflow horizontally
   RATIONALE: This solves a valid use case, so if a marker is needed to
              indicate vertical overflow, that will have to be a separate
              feature.

CSS2.1 Issues
-------------

   Discussed various ways of reconciling implemented @margin-box syntax with
   CSS2.1 error-handling rules.
   RESOLVED: @page takes a new construct that mixes declarations and @rules
   RESOLVED: css3-page recommends that @margin-box rules come after all
             declarations in the page context

   Discussed Steve's testcases for ambiguities in vertical-align, Steve to
   write up two proposals for discussion.

Fonts
-----

   - Long comparison of bolder-lighter algorithms.
   - Discussion of format()
   - RESOLVED: Publish new WD of css3-fonts
   - jdaggett considers fill and stroke, fantasai and ChrisL suggest using
     the SVG properties.

SVG Coordination
----------------

   - Discussion of SVG's proposal to encode some of its attributes as CSS
     properties; suggested as a topic for TPAC.
   - SVG comments on Transitions deferred to spec maintainer.

image-fit and image-position
----------------------------

   RESOLVED (TENTATIVE): Merge image-fit and image-position into single
                        'fit' property
   RATIONALE: 'image-fit' and 'image-position' are not appropriate names for
              what SVG wants to use them for, and nobody had a better proposal.

MultiCol
--------

   RESOLVED: Introduce break-* properties as syntactic sugar for page-break-*
   RESOLVED: howcome to add an example of a float intruding into previous
             columns and wait for implementors to complain
   RESOLVED: fix errors in pseudo-algorithm pointed out by sylvain
