tantek has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [mediaqueries][mediaqueries-4][mediaqueries-5] should 'initial-only' have an explicit minimum threshold? == https://drafts.csswg.org/mediaqueries/#scripting Formerly "Issue 4" inline in the spec, brought here to capture and discuss: " Should there be an explicit minimum threshold to meet before a UA is allowed to claim initial-only? Having one would mean authors would know what they can depend on, and could tailor their scripts accordingly. On the other hand, pinpointing that threshold is difficult: if it is set too low, the scripting facilities that authors can depend on may be to constrained to be practical, even though actual UAs may potentially all support significantly more. But trying to set it higher may cause us to exclude UAs that do support scripting at loading time, but restrict it in some cases based on complex heuristics. For instance, conservative definitions likely include at least running all inline scripts and firing the DOMContentLoaded event. But it does not seem useful for authors to constrain themselves to this if most (or maybe all) initial-only UAs also load external scripts (including async and defer) and fire the load event. On the other hand, requiring external scripts to be loaded and the load event to be fired could exclude UAs like Opera mini, which typically do run them, but may decide not to based on timeouts and other heuristics. " Feel free to adjust issue name/title and "[...]" labels according to where this feature ends up. Thanks!
