> my contention is that this level of inaccuracy won't be solved by simply decreeing in the spec that the whole pipeline of browser/OS/printer driver/printer/etc must be accurate. but happy to be proven wrong :) I agree. Current mis-sizing is not due to trying to do some different kind of sizing, but to failing at making 1in be 1in on paper, due to a bunch of intermediates, some (or many) of which may be sloppy. TV are refusing to do what the spec says they should do, and I don't really look favorably upon defining "You must do XYZ. If you'd rather not pay attention and keep on violating this spec, here's another one you could have a look at." Until TV vendors come back with an explanation for why doing the viewport the way the spec says cannot work for them, my assumption is that not that they have found such a reason and remain silent about it, but that they haven't bothered to try. I may very well be wrong about this, but I did spend two years as porting browsers to TVs, and two other years working for a TV vendor, so my guess is not a totally uninformed one. -- GitHub Notification of comment by frivoal Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/614#issuecomment-260881334 using your GitHub account
