Minutes Seattle F2F Thursday 2017-01-12 Part II: Text Decoration, Step-Sizing/Rhythm, Line Grid, Block Step Sizing

fantasai introduced her draft of Text Decoration Level 4 for discussion.
- She will add examples for offset based on different anchor points.
- There was some question as to if ‘width’ was the right word for text-decoration-width. It was given that name for consistency with properties like with border-width and stroke-width, but may still need bikeshedding.
- There was support for use-font to allow specifying user value in the font.
Resolved: FPWD of Text Decoration Level 4
The relative position example for text-underline-position was reviewed and found helpful in identifying correct behavior.

here was concern about having this as a separate spec from line grid as they’ll be used together frequently. They will stay separate for now and an issue about it will be raised on the FPWD.
The name also concerned some people, but there wasn’t a better idea right now.
Resolved: First published working draft for step sizing
Resolved: koji, fantasai, and dauwhe as co-editors.
Resolved: Rename to css-rhythm

Florian asked for feedback on finding a way to get momentum on the spec. He suggested adding an auto value on line-grid, but there was concern that’s too limiting to be useful.
Overall simplification was then discussed to get momentum, but several browsers said that that would not cause this to move further forward on their roadmap.
fremy proposed a within-BFC line grid declaration that several browser expressed an interest in, so he was actioned to write up his proposal.
Resolved: line-height-step affects line grid

fantasai introduced her proposal to add a block step sizing property to CSS Rhythm.
After some discussion, there was mostly positive responses to the proposal and a feeling that it would be a useful addition.
