Resolved: Add Florian as editor to CSS3 UI
There was general consensus that the pseudo-classes listed should only be in Selectors. They can move back into CSS3 UI if it seems like it will make progress a lot faster.
The pseudo-elements may be removed depending on if there’s any implementations.
The values for text-overflow should be start/end instead of right/left

caret-color and text-shadow will be added as properties
The color change when text is selected was discussed in regards to what parts should change and what shouldn’t, such as underlines and text-decorations. fantasai will look into the Microsoft implementation which was described as only the text and background are selected.
When text is replaced, it was suggested that the color should always be different to indicate the change.
When discussing the issue raised here it was agreed that the second option is the best choice and offers the most interoperability. It is, however, very hard to describe in prose, so anyone interested was asked to give it a look to see if there’s a way to improve the description.
There will be more testing, specifically on IE, to see if it’s better to have color inherit through a cascading thing with tree depth or having the inheritance go through the ::selection tree

Resolved: In level 1 of Animations we describe the current behavior of findRule and deleteRule
Resolved: Make appendRule always add at the end of the keyframe no matter if the key already exists.
Resolved: No change for now for “Should CSSKeyframesRule inherit from CSSGroupingRule” bug (available here).

There was a broad discussion about features that improve accessibility that should become a part of Media Queries both for their accessibility value, but also because they can have value to designers in general.
Resolved: Review all accessibility related issues to come up with a broad proposal.
Resolved: Reject scroll-position Media Query
Resolved: The media features overflow-inline and overflow-block are fine as they are. No change for current concerns.
