Minutes Telecon 2016-08-31
- A reminder that the registration for TPAC closes and registration fees go up soon.
- gregwhitworth will likely be the one to speak at the dev meet-up and he’ll cover topics around Grid.
- The behavior of what we do when there isn’t a natural baseline is inconsistent both between specs and between implementations.
- The proposals of what to standardize around were:
- Make boxes without a natural baseline and boxes establishing an orthogonal flow synthesize a baseline.
- Base this synthesized baseline on the margin box edges
- Base this synthesized baseline on some other box edge
- Make boxes without a natural baseline and boxes establishing an orthogonal flow use start alignment instead of trying to synthesize a baseline.
- Something else.
- Resolved: Accept option A2 with the modification that we’re talking about the border box.
- Several people had reservations on adding a new syntax (+#) to make it easier to read a legacy behavior that could still be written as [ + ]#
- Resolved: Don’t add any new syntax, just add a note explaining it.
- Resolved: Adopt the Gecko/Edge behavior and specify that
.offsetParent
is based on the nearest abspos containing block or table cell
- Resolved: Accept the proposal (Proposal: Make the device-width/etc MQs use the same concepts as CSSOM is using for returning device dimensions.)
- The group began discussing adding device-pixel-ratio but didn’t have time to reach a decision
- One opinion was that it shouldn’t be added in order to encourage people to use ‘resolution’
- The other opinion was because ‘-webkit-device-pixel-ratio’ didn’t obviously translate to ‘resolution’, ‘device-pixel-ratio’ should be added to aid authors.
- Right as conversation was wrapping up, smfr asked a question about ‘window.devicePixelRatio’ which he was asked to post on github to allow further conversation.
