Sure, everyone *could* calculate it themselves, as they could for `pi` and `e` as well. The point of adding it as a predefined constant is that many people would do it the same way and solve in a slightly different way. It would *simplify* everyoneʼs life if a reasonably exact value was available as `phi`. This is not a new page layout module, it is a single numeric constant with a well established name and a clearly defined value. It would *not complicate* the specification at all. Implementation and testing of φ can happen together with e and π, i. e. adding minutes to hours. I may have proposed controversial, complicated, costly or crazy stuff in the past, but this is none of that. -- GitHub Notification of comment by Crissov Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4702#issuecomment-583819343 using your GitHub account
