Minutes Telecon 2020-07-22
- There is a page to vote on and suggest statistics to be gathered as a part of the HTTPArchive Web Almanac. Group members are requested to participate and suggest items which would help in specification writing
- Examples were added for using ::first-letter and spaces (Issue #5154: ::first-letter should include space separators). There are also examples where a space is used to ensure only a punctuation mark and not the letter receive the ::first-letter style so a switch may be required. This will be added to the F2F agenda since not everyone interested was available for today’s call.
- Resolved: Reject [phi] for now and if data shows up from HTTPArchive that it is fairly common we re-open and put it in (Issue #4702: Math Constant phi for Golden Ratio)
- masonfreed presented the study and conclusions for controlling the color on form controls. The conclusion was that there would need to be two colors exposed; foreground and background.
- There was concern that range and progress bar were excluded from the proposed spec text and investigation will be done as to how they can also respect the new values.
- The proposed properties include ‘foreground’ and ‘background’ which implies that a certain level of contrast should be encouraged. This may be good, but needs to be thought through more since not all form controls have contrast right now.
- The proposed spec text is vague in terms of details due to the current incompatibility around form controls. However, the group felt it should be more specific so that discussions do happen prior to one browser implementing and everyone getting locked into that approach.
- There was interest in having the openUI group also define what is foreground and what is background. Several members of the group expressed an interest in seeing a demo/overview of the openUI work.
- An additional concern was to make sure whatever is specified will be able to accommodate future innovations in look and functionality of form controls.
- masonfreed will add to the proposed spec text more specificity about implementation and than bring it back to the group.
