The group went through a list of issues and problems that Tav has documented here.
Discussed using exclusions to help handle SVG shapes
It was noted that shape-inside doesn’t have an equivalent functionality to wrap-flow (which says which side of the shape to fill); this is needed to handle filling concave shapes
Discussed ideas for sequentially filling shapes
Need to clarify that line boxes are fitted to non-rectangular shapes by requiring zero intersection.

Middle (half of the x height) and Alignment (synonym for text top and text bottom) baselines may be useful to add to CSS Inline.
It may be preferable to have the baseline table reset when the baseline font changes – this would be a behavior change from SVG 1.1.orientation.
A decision on default values for mathematical values will wait for more data.

Resolved: Change ‘auto’ value of mask-mode to ‘match-source’.
birtles will investigate dropping mask-type. If it’s not dropped, he will update the normative text.

The authors will keep moving the spec toward CR.
Tav presented a new filter primitive he’d like added to level 2; dino agreed it was interesting and will look into adding it to the spec.

Either AmeliaBR or Tav will create a proposal to either offer author control or spec guidance for browsers on dithering.

stakagi presented some very detailed work he had done (Available here)
His wiki will be linked to from the spec as a list of things the spec needs to address.
