We had a resolution that:

"full-size-kana may be replaced by a generic @text-transform mechanism"  
should be marked as an issue. It's been added, but my understanding at the  
time was that this would replace that:

"A future level of CSS may introduce the ability to create custom mapping  
tables for less common text transforms, such as by ‘@text-transform’ rule  
similar to ‘@counter-style’ from [CSS3LIST]."

However, that is still in there as well.

One of the goal of the new sentence was to avoid saying "A future level of  
CSS", because while @text-transform may indeed end up in level 4, we  
haven't resolved on that and may still want to try getting it into level 3.

Here is a proposal for a condensing both sentences into one.

ISSUE: "The ability to create custom mapping tables for less common text  
transforms, such as by an ‘@text-transform’ rule similar to  
‘@counter-style’ from [CSS3LIST] may be introduced, and this mechanism may  
be used to replace full-size-kana. "

I think this is is better, because it says what we've agreed on, without  
taking position on what we haven't agreed on yet.

Other than this, I am fine with what has made its way to level 3.

Is this meant to be the same as level 3, plus the bits that were removed?  
I haven't checked everything, but at least the issues about  
@text-transform are marked differently in level 3 and 4.

Once the common bits are checked to be in sync, I am fine with level 4 as  
well.

I haven't reviewed this in detail, but I don't think that there is any new  
controversial content added. There are a number of unresolved issues, but  
that's not new, so for the sake of the bits that have been improved, I  
agree with publishing.
