@dbaron That is an excellent point: using division lets us avoid a scale-dependence (so going from `2/1` to `10/1` is the same as going from `20/10` to `100/10`), but it still introduces an orientation dependence; tall and wide versions of the same ratios interpolate differently. Using the logarithm of the division, then, seems to make a lot of sense - it'll interpolate your examples by going from (wlog, using log2) `1` to `3.32` for the first, and from `-1` to `-3.32` for the second, exactly symmetric. It also means that going from `1/2` to `2/1` will end up with a square `1/1` ratio in the middle of the transition, which I think is what authors would expect. So if nobody objects, I'll change to using the logarithm of the division result. -- GitHub Notification of comment by tabatkins Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4953#issuecomment-712504763 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
