Minutes Telecon 2020-11-11
- There were concerns about trying to remove the actual value of colors from the getComputedStyle return (Issue #5710: Shielding system colors to avoid fingerprinting) so much of the group was leaning toward no change and documenting the fingerprinting risk. However, the group is going to wait a week before resolving to allow for checking with privacy teams.
- Resolved: Republish a new WD of Fonts 4
- The group discussed the proposal to add currentBackgroundColor to Color 5 (Issue #5292: Add `currentBackgroundColor` Variable). The use case is to make it easier to have style elements like borders be defined based on their background color. During the conversation there was a fair amount of implementation complexity uncovered since there is often transparent background values. Discussion will return to github to determine if the benefit outweighs the implementation complexity as well as dive further into the detailed requirements.
- Resolved: For quirks mode only, the scrolling element should follow same propagation as the overflow:clip (Issue #5601: Document.scrollingElement doesn’t reflect viewport propagation correctly in presence of overflow: clip)
- Resolved: No change to the viewport size calculation (Issue #5260: No way to access the viewport size without losing precision)
- emilio will experiment with allowing the viewport size to return doubles to see if it really causes the compat issues which lead to the above resolution. If there aren’t compat issues he’ll re-open the issue. If there are compat issues he’ll create a new issue to develop a separate API to return the doubles.
- In order to define how rounding should function in CSS (Issue #5689: Is `round` special in CSSOM?) requires a conversation around which is the best language to match. Discussion will continue on GitHub until there’s a more definite proposal.
- Resolved: Have different interfaces for declarations blocks that expose a different set of descriptors/properties (Issue #5649: The way CSSStyleDeclaration exposes properties is not ideal)
- Resolved: Publish a new WD for Values 4
