Resolved: text-align is shorthand for text-align-last and text-align-all
Resolved: Defer text-align-first and text-align: start-end to level 4
There wasn’t any solution of a new name for grapheme clusters (currently called characters). The editors will come up with something until someone comes up with something better.
Resolved: Require which lines are justified even if the justification method is not defined
Arabic letters connecting between elements with display: inline disucssion will continue on the mailing list.
Issue 72 about control characters will be tested a bit more, but likely will result in no change.
Resolved: No further splits to CSS3 Text
- Though this is a process that’s been done before with other specs (including this one), it was felt that the most interesting to implement pieces of CSS3 Text were all in the unstable list. Given that and the fact that there is no clear logical division of properties either, it shouldn’t be split.

plh presented the interest in having tests to CSS submitted though web-platform.
There was some concern about conflicting interests where the working group tools were developed to get specs to REC whereas web-platform was just developed to create more tests. However, there was also support for more tests to make better specs.
No end decision was reached, but there was interest in having web-platform-tests be a subdirectory of CSS tests.

There was ample interest in being able to annotate url().
TabAtkins’ believed he had a solution involving enhancing url() which he will investigate and bring back his findings to the group.

Resolved: Move subgrid to at risk for level 1 and add a requirement for display-box: contents to be used with grid and include examples.

dbaron brought to the group some behavior inconsistencies between implementations when using position: sticky and the margin box and padding box are the same size.
The group looked through dbaron’s examples (available here) and agreed it was broken.
Rossen will address the inconsistency in his continuing work on the spec.
