Minutes Telecon 2017-01-25

• Resolved: Publish WD of CSS Sizing L3
• Florian was concerned that the current spec for the line-height-step property would lead to an author accidentally getting the double height in a browser he/she didn’t test against due to a variation on the value of line-height:normal caused by each browser calculating it slightly differently.
  • After some modifications, Florian’s proposal was clarified to specify that line-height:normal is a TBD fixed value when the user sets line-height-step to anything other than initial. If this proposal does go forward the initial value of line-height-step should be none.
  • The concerns with this proposal is that the authors may not know why something that works with line-height:normal suddenly stops working.
  • Conversation will continue on the github issue to try and reach consensus
• Though at the most recent F2F there was a resolution to add background-repeat-x/y due to web usage several browser vendors didn’t want to add the property because they didn’t feel there was such a strong need. It is Chrome’s responsibility to gather more data to either persuade other vendors to implement it or to decide that they can remove it.
• Resolved: Do not spec background-repeat-x/y for now
• TabAtkins will look into the index problem so that the 2017 snapshot can be published.
• There were concerns about the decision from the F2F to use a NOTE to maintain pending updates CSS2 not being the correct process approach. This conversation will continue on the mailing list as that’s a better forum for this type of conversation, but people were encouraged to actively reply on the list and to give specific alternate proposals.
