Overall, this seems fine to me. Css2 should be updated to say the same thing as css-color 3, as #628 argues, and that's certainly the easiest way to do that. A minor note: SVG11 is an informative reference of CSS2, but a normative reference of CSS-COLOR3. As it is itself a REC, I don't believe that's an issue. So, from a normative point of view, I think there's no issue with this, and I support it. From a patent policy point of view, the effect of doing this is not necessarily identical to adjusting the css2 text to mean the same as the level 3 text and republishing that. Currently, we have patent commitment: - on the css2.1 content, by the members who were there then - on the css-color-3 content, by the members who were there then Eventually we will also have patent commitment: - on the css-color-4, which is a superset of 3, by the members who've involved in its development If we do what you suggest, that's all we get. If we publish a new CSS2.x REC with the level-2 content corrected to match level 3, we'd also get patent commitment on the corrected level 2 material from members involved during that time frame. I don't think there would be any member who'd end up committed to this adjusted level 2 who's not already committed to level4, and I'm not convinced we'd even get there sooner. So, even considering the Patent Policy implications, I still think this is a good move. -- GitHub Notification of comment by frivoal Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/pull/5298#issuecomment-655248421 using your GitHub account
