Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2013-06-10 20:28:14 UTC 
Does "have a viewport" mean something concrete? CSSOM View seems to use "have any associated CSS layout box". That might actually be a better definition. Any opinions or suggestions?

What list does comment #0 refer to?
Comment 3 Anne 2013-06-12 06:16:46 UTC 
These three bullet points I think: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/rendering.html#being-rendered

I think having a CSS layout box is the best definition we have, unless Tab or Elika know a better one.
Comment 4 Tab Atkins Jr. 2013-06-12 10:08:39 UTC 
Yes, having a CSS or SVG layout box is the relevant concept for "being rendered" (+ "some equivalent in other styling languages").
Comment 5 contributor 2013-06-18 23:34:12 UTC 
Checked in as WHATWG revision r7989.
Check-in comment: Try a different definition of 'being rendered' that goes more directly to the point. This should not make any practical difference except that it handles cases where an element is in a Document that has no browsing context.
