@Loirooriol I didn't say the editors were disconnected, I said the output of the standards process is in this case. And from the perspective of an author, it clearly is. The issue you describe needs a resolution of some kind, but the worst-case impact of any conceivable resolution would still be better than the actual impact right now of such a fundamental encapsulation use-case being missing from the platform. As for how it should be resolved, you say there are actually various options, so why not just have a discussion during a face-to-face meeting, reach a consensus on the least-worst, and go with that? As for the argument re. forwards compatibility, that seems entirely fallacious, in that the same objection applies the entire design of CSS. I can put `display: hypercube` into my CSS right now and it could break if that ever becomes valid syntax. So what? Browsers make breaking changes all the time, many far bigger than this would ever conceivably be, and there is a robust system for counting usage and making those decisions appropriately. -- GitHub Notification of comment by jonrimmer Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4729#issuecomment-607545918 using your GitHub account
