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 has published an updated Working Draft of the CSS Text Module Level 4.
This CSS module defines properties for text manipulation and specifies their processing model. It covers line breaking, justification and alignment, white space handling, and text transformation.
The most notable changes since last publication are:
text-wrap property has been recast as a shorthand of two new properties, text-wrap-mode and text-wrap-style, and made text-wrap-mode rather than text-wrap a longhand of the white-space property. We call on implementations, particularly those that shipped text-wrap: balance, to be updated to match this new shorthand and longhand relationship.word-boundary-detection property has been retired; phrase based line breaking is now controlled by word-break: auto-phrase, and phrase-based space insertion by the auto-phrase value of the word-space-transform property.Changes since the last Working Draft are listed in the Changes section.
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-text-4]) and your comment topic in the subject line. (Alternatively, you can email one of the editors and ask them to forward your comment.)
