CSS Easing Functions Level 1: Last Call for Comments
The CSS Working Group has published an updated Working Draft of CSS Easing Functions Level 1. This module extracts the easing functions from earlier drafts of CSS Transitions into their own module, to more easily reference them from both CSS Transitions and CSS Animations and any other modules that need them.
Changes since the last draft consist of removing the frames() notation in favor of the new jump-* keywords in steps(). Also the module has been renamed (from Timing to Easing), to reflect the possibility of reuse for progress of things over a basis other than time.
As there are no open issues other than some editorial work, and hardly any have been received since the FPWD in February, we expect to transition this module to Candidate Recommendation next month. Consider this the last call for comments. 🙂
Please send feedback by either filing an issue in GitHub (preferable) or sending mail to the (archived) public mailing list www-style@w3.org with the spec code ([css-timing]) and your comment topic in the subject line. (Alternatively, you can email one of the editors and ask them to forward your comment.)

- Since
word-wrap:break-word cannot affect min-content due to web compat there is now a need to achieve that behavior through another method. Discussion is ongoing in github #2682 to determine the best approach and anyone interested is encouraged to participate.
- Resolved: Add
:blank for input selectors (Issue #1283)
- Resolved:
:empty does cover white space (Issue #1967)
- Resolved: Specificity of :host() is 1 pseudoclass + specificity of argument. (Not just specificity of argument.) (Issue #1915)
- Resolved: Accept the proposal from fantasai and Kobayashi-sensei [keep the full size of the larger glyph and trim smaller] (Issue #1668)
- Location is still unknown for the February F2F but there is work in progress to produce alternate locations.

Updated Working Drafts of CSS Text Level 3 and CSS Text Level 4
The CSS Working Group has published updated Working Drafts of CSS Text Level 3 and CSS Text Level 4. This module contains various typesetting properties not related to font selection, such as alignment, line breaking, white space collapsing, text justification, and other forms of text-level spacing adjustments.
CSS Text Level 3 is a fairly late-stage Working Draft. This update fixes a number of issues not addressed in and/or raised after the 22 August 2017 publication last year. The Disposition of Comments tracking issues raised and fixed since the 2013 Last Call Working Draft has been updated.
CSS Text Level 4 is still an early-stage exploratory Working Draft, currently maintained as a diff spec against Level 3. This update fixes some issues in the previous WD and adds the line-padding, text-group-align, and text-spacing: space-first features. The Changes section summarizes all changes since the First Public Working Draft.
Please send feedback by either filing an issue in GitHub (preferable) or sending mail to the (archived) public mailing list www-style@w3.org with the spec code ([css-text]) and your comment topic in the subject line. (Alternatively, you can email one of the editors and ask them to forward your comment.)

- There were concerns that some portions of the HTML fieldset/legend spec were extending functionality instead of just defining what is needed for compat. This is an ideal topic to address during TPAC where conversation can happen with members of the WHATWG. Until then conversation will continue on github.(Issue #3094)
- A separate issue will be created for CSS2.1 to create a term that means “things that create a stacking context” and use that in the spec where appropriate. Once this is done other specs can use this term too. (Issue #2717)
- Resolved: Containment should apply to outer SVG but nothing else in SVG. (Issue #2987)
- Chris Harrelson is added as a co-editor to Filter Effects.
- As a part of the document being created to solve FXTF Issue #282 There needs to be details on blending added to the document about the visual effect of filter() on the document element. Also, the behavior on the root element needs to be considered in reference to the current behavior for iframes.
- Resolved: Disconnected elements don’t have stylesheets (Issue #3096)
- There is a use case to be able to set values on a disconnected element through different APIs; plinss will investigate current work on this use case and, if necessary, file an issue.
- Resolved: Add sentence “Authors should use pointer on links and may use on other interactive elements” To UI4. (Issue #1936)
- Group members are asked to begin to populate the topics list for the F2F.

Updated Working Draft of CSS Box Alignment Level 3
The CSS Working Group has published an updated Working Draft of CSS Box Alignment Module Level 3. This module contains the features of CSS relating to the alignment of boxes within their containers in the various CSS box layout models: block layout, table layout, flex layout, and grid layout. It also includes the new cross-module gap properties (row-gap, column-gap, gap).
This update contains better and more thorough definitions of the effect of self-alignment on statically-positioned absolutely-positioned boxes
and of content-alignment on scroll containers. See specific changes.
One interesting and useful side-effect of these changes is that the internal padding of a scroll container will increase the scrollable area at the block-end and inline-end edges of a scroll container with non-normal content alignment, resolving a longstanding author request.
Please send feedback by either filing an issue in GitHub (preferable) or sending mail to the (archived) public mailing list www-style@w3.org with the spec code ([css-align-3]) and your comment topic in the subject line. (Alternatively, you can email one of the editors and ask them to forward your comment.)
Candidate Recommendation of CSS Display Level 3
The CSS Working Group has published a Candidate Recommendation and invites implementations of the CSS Display Module Level 3. This module describes how the CSS formatting box tree is generated
from the document element tree and defines properties that control the types of boxes thus generated.
New features since Level 2 include:
The draft also features

Updated CSS Cascading and Inheritance Levels 3 & 4
The CSS Working Group has published updated Candidate Recommendations of CSS Cascading and Inheritance Level 3 and CSS Cascading and Inheritance Level 4. This CSS module describes how to collate style rules and assign values to all properties on all elements by way of cascading (choosing a winning declaration among many) and inheritance (propagating values from parent to child).
These updates are largely about clarifications; however we also:
- Dropped the unimplemented/obsolete “override” origin (introduced by DOM2STYLE).
- Dropped the definition of scoped cascading from Level 3. (It remains in Level 4 for now.)
- Added definitions for how property aliasing works to Level 4.
- Defined the computation of styles on text nodes (exposed by the new
display: contents feature in CSS Display Module Level 3) in Level 4.
A full list of changes since the earlier publications are listed in the Changes sections: Level 3 Changes, Level 4 Changes. See also the Dispositions of Comments: Level 3 DoC, Level 4 DoC
