As I and @fantasai stated in the email thread, implementors have historically been strongly against this sort of functionality; it makes for a very complicated implementation, apparently. Features don't really do well without implementor interest, and in this case we have clear implementor *anti*-interest, which is a strong signal that we should not add the feature to a spec, as it will not be successful. See <https://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/FAQ#Is_there_a_process_for_adding_new_features_to_a_specification.3F> for a rough idea of how adding new features work. Author interest is *one* part of the process, but not all of it! -- GitHub Notification of comment by tabatkins Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/588#issuecomment-254668743 using your GitHub account
