Re: [CSSWG] Minutes and Resolutions 2010-03-17

During the 3-17-2010 telecon we spoke briefly about
subscripts/superscripts:

Fantasai, could you clarify what you mean by using a new property (e.g.
'character-transform') as a shorthand for new property values and
font-size/vertical-align?

Are you saying that this property is a pseudo-shorthand in that it
resets other property values but doesn't actually otherwise use their
values?
