This is a page from the Cascading Style Sheets Working Group Blog. Some other places to find information are the “current work” page, the www-style mailing list, the Future of CSS syndicator, and the issue list on Github.
Do you want to know how the CSS WG works? Fantasai has written about:csswg, An Inside View of the CSS Working Group at W3C.
The CSS Working Group is returning CSS Cascading and Inheritance Level 4 to Working Draft status in order to incorporate the cascading and inheritance rules pertaining to Shadow DOM. Also to drop scoped styles (again) due to lack of interest from implementers. (An update to CSS Cascading and Inheritance Level 3 has also been published to keep editorial fixes in sync.)
CSS Cascading and Inheritance describes how to collate style rules and assign values to all properties on all elements by way of cascading (choosing a winning declaration among many) and inheritance (propagating values from parent to child). Changes since the previous Candidate Recommendation are listed in the Changes section.
This is a Last Call for Comments; the CSSWG expects to return the module to CR soon. We are requesting comments, or alternately a request for extended time, by 20 September 2020.
Please send feedback by either filing an issue in GitHub (preferable) or sending mail to the (archived) public mailing list www-style@w3.org with the spec code ([css-cascade-4]) and your comment topic in the subject line. (Alternatively, you can email one of the editors and ask them to forward your comment.)
