Description Matt Rakow 2014-03-04 01:39:08 UTC 
As discussed in this thread [1], the min- and max- prefixes on the width and height properties are not necessary to solve additional scenarios beyond what media queries are capable of.

Additionally, the three-way interaction of min/max width, min/max height, and media queries makes for a large matrix of possible combinations that conflict in some cases (e.g. satisfying min/max width violates min/max height).

In order to simplify the API while maintaining full scenario support, we should remove these prefixes from the width and height properties.
