maRakow presented his research and thoughts on splitting the layout and visual viewports. His slides are available here.
There was support for his thoughts about clarifying the meaning of “viewport” when a spec isn’t specific, especially for the older specs. maRakow will make a list of references that need clarifying and send it to the mailing list.
Though people didn’t want to define zoom behavior in such a way that it limits smart design, they were very much in favor of giving authors more controls to create those smart designs.
Discussion about all these issues will continue on the mailing list.

Resolved: alignment in Flexbox should depend on the value of flex-wrap (wrap or nowrap), not the number of lines that result.
Most of the other issues will be addressed by the authors.

Resolved: unprefix :dir and :lang
The current goal with selectors 4 is to separate the unstable bits out and put them in level 5 so that the spec can make its way through CR.

The remaining issue of how to handle containers with no break opportunity was agreed to be no data loss for all container types.
Resolved: Publish a new WD of Fragmentation and give 6 weeks for feedback before CR

smfr’s proposal for a new “3D rendering context” concept and Robert O’Callahan’s counter-proposal were discussed with a focus on the ‘preserve-3D’ property and how much memory would need to be allocated for smfr’s proposal.
A point of particular concern was what the author’s expectation is for when 2D and 3D elements would intersect when the 3D item is rotated.
There was discussion of inheriting transform-style.
Those interested in Transforms will look over smfr’s results and discuss further.

Resolved: Layout methods should depend on writing system in addition to language convention

Resolved: Add to Counter Styles the additional styles supported by 2+ browsers (per r12a’s email), do not add the styles supported by only one browser
Resolved: Take Counter Styles to CR and go to the new process if we can
Resolved: Minimum of 3 months for Counter Styles CR
