Placeholder Styling

Discussed use cases and rationale for ::placeholder pseudo-element vs. :placeholder pseudo-class. Need for pseudo-element seems to be largely driven by the need to style the text color with opacity so as to make it “fade” regardless of the input’s color scheme. Pseudo-class allows styling the entire input element in response to the placeholder’s visibility.

Options considered included:

• Pseudo-class vs. pseudo-element vs. both vs. reusing ::value pseudo-element.
• Reusing SVG’s fill-opacity to address fading.

Resolved: :placeholder-shown pseudo-class and ::placeholder pseudo-element adopted.

Counter Styles

• Resolved: Remove the example about simulating zero-filled counter styles and add a feature for filled counter styles.
• Resolved: 2-byte minimum for counters.
• Resolved: If current value + increment is outside of the range, then do not increment. (Not allowed to overflow the integer.)
• Resolved: Current spec is OK for fallback cycle detection per counter value (rather than per counter style).
• Resolved: Keep ethiopic-numeric in spec, but mark at risk.
