CSS and MathML Joint Meeting
----------------------------
The MathML WG is working on ways to display MathML with CSS. Our discussions
resulted in the MathML WG posting the following:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2007Nov/0081.html
Japanese Layout Task Force Report
---------------------------------
Nothing new to report.
CSS Validator
-------------
The CSS Validator team requested a better definition of what a valid CSS
document is.
Tables
------
Reviewed new revision of the table width calculation algorithm document.
This should make its way to dev.w3.org as HTML sometime soon.
Marquee
-------
RESOLVED: Rename 'marquee-loop' to 'marquee-play-count'.
RATIONALE: Avoid confusion over whether "marquee-loop: 1" means play once
or play twice.
NOTED: Need clarifications for behavior of 'marquee-style' keywords.
NOTED: Computed value section of 'marquee-direction' doesn't match values.
NOTED: Note about 'alternate' under 'marquee-direction' definition is
wrong and should be fixed by saying "opposite of the direction
given by marquee-drection" or somesuch.
RESOLVED: Remove 'overflow-style-x' and 'overflow-style-y' in favor of
"overflow-style: auto | marquee-line | marquee-block" where
marquee-line scrolls parallel to the line boxes and marquee-block
scrolls perpendicular to them.
RATIONALE: Combining this into one property avoids senseless combinations
like marquee in both directions, and also works the same way for
both vertical and horizontal text.
Box Module and Width Keywords
-----------------------------
RESOLVED: Keep "display: compact" in CSS Box Module Level 3.
RESOLVED: Add keywords to 'width' and 'height' from Section 3 of
http://dbaron.org/css/intrinsic/
but rename 'fill' to 'available', 'min-intrinsic' to 'min-content',
'intrinsic' to 'max-content', and 'shrink-wrap' to 'fit-content'.
CSS2.1 Issues
-------------
RESOLVED: Proposal accepted for issue 16
http://csswg.inkedblade.net/spec/css2.1#issue-16
Test cases needed for some other issues.
CSS3 Multi-Col
--------------
Agreed to publish a Last Call with an extended public comment period after
vertical text issues are addressed.
Media Queries
-------------
RESOLVED: Define that @page rules are allowed inside @media rules in the
CSS3 Paged Media spec.
RESOLVED: "all and" can be dropped form a media query, e.g. @media (color) {} is ok.
RESOLVED: Unknown/unsuppported media queries are ignored, but the other
comma-separated parts can still be used.
RESOLUTION: Dropping unknown parts of a media query such that all parts
are dropped means you end up with none, not all.
Media Queries will go back to LC.
Rotation and Transformation
---------------------------
Discussed use cases, SVG-like 'transform' syntax, and centers of rotation.
NOTED: We need keywords for pegging the center of rotation at e.g. the
baseline of an inline element, or at the center of any other element.
NOTED: For the above reason and for usability, need a way to set the anchor
point explicitly.
NOTED: A 'diagonal' could introduce circularity if it affects layout.
NOTED: Separate properties to trigger transform behaviors could introduce
cascade problems.
NOTED: 'transform' should trigger a new block formatting context. A 'none'
value is needed as the default.
NOTED: Importing SVG syntax directly doesn't work because it's incompatible
with CSS tokenization and some other conventions. Some specific
problems include: CSS can't accept spaces before the opening ( of
functional notation, functions need to take lengths not numbers,
and functional notation should require commas.
