The CSS Working Group just discussed `[css-fonts] bikeshedding name of size-adjust descriptor`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: No change to name; stay with size-adjust`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;dael> Topic: [css-fonts] bikeshedding name of size-adjust descriptor<br>
&lt;dael> github: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/6114<br>
&lt;dael> chrishtr: One option is keeping the name. I think fantasai prefers that<br>
&lt;dael> chrishtr: Another option is font-scaling or font-scaling-factor<br>
&lt;dael> chrishtr: Opinions?<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: I prefer original name<br>
&lt;dael> chrishtr: I'm okay with all of those<br>
&lt;dael> chrishtr: JonathanNeal and myles weighed in<br>
&lt;dael> jfkthame: I prefer name with scaling but can live<br>
&lt;dael> leaverou: I don't know about scaling. [missed]<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: Proposed name is size-adjust which ties into font adjust. Work a bit differently but do exactly the same thing<br>
&lt;leaverou_> s/I don't know about scaling. [missed]/What about scaling-factor? font- is not needed if this is a descriptor in @font-face/<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: size-adjust descripton on @fontface gives you descriptor to adjust font size by that much. font-size-adjust property takes a number of how big to scale to match x-height<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: Proposals to expand beyond x-height to try and get fonts to match and normalize on metrics you request.<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: Both scale used size instead of impacting computed<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: Other reason was I figured pretty accurately represents what you're tryring to do when you spec a font and size<br>
&lt;dael> Rossen_: Way I read the thread most folks lean toward font-scale as rename. Propo by jfkthame and okay by chrishtr and myles<br>
&lt;dael> Rossen_: In description you used fantasai you used scale 80% of timeand adjust once. font-scal sounds like pretty awesome alternative. Should we try and resolve on that?<br>
&lt;dael> plinss: If we have existing prop that does same it makes sense to keep the name<br>
&lt;dael> jfkthame: What troubles me is it does it in a different way and hte value given has a different meaning. That's source of my unease with keeping names close<br>
&lt;Rossen_> s/font-scal/font-scale/<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: There's syntax valid in font-size-adjust and ones in font-adjust and don't overlap. If we add % it should do the same. If we want a feature that's where it should go and size-adjust would be a subset of font-size-adjust<br>
&lt;dael> Rossen_: We can do one of two things. Hearing a split. We can straw poll between size-adjust and font-scale and take the result<br>
&lt;smfr> there’s also [-webkit-]text-size-adjust<br>
&lt;dael> chrishtr: sgtm<br>
&lt;Rossen_> A - size-adjust<br>
&lt;Rossen_> B - font-scale<br>
&lt;dael> Rossen_: options ^<br>
&lt;fantasai> A<br>
&lt;myles> abstain<br>
&lt;plinss> a<br>
&lt;dael> Rossen_: Please cast your options, A or B<br>
&lt;jfkthame> B<br>
&lt;Rossen_> B A<br>
&lt;rachelandrew> A<br>
&lt;chrishtr> AB<br>
&lt;dholbert> B<br>
&lt;astearns> abstain<br>
&lt;smfr> B<br>
&lt;Morgan> abstain<br>
&lt;futhark> abstain<br>
&lt;florian> abstain<br>
&lt;cbiesinger> abstain<br>
&lt;dael> Rossen_: I love that abstain has a and b<br>
&lt;dael> Rossen_: This is very non-conclusive<br>
&lt;dael> chrishtr: A bit more B than A<br>
&lt;dael> Rossen_: 5 and 5. That's not enough for consensus<br>
&lt;dael> Rossen_: Since there's no consensus, I don't hear strong reason to change<br>
&lt;dael> chrishtr: Can I make suggestion? Is there anyone who would object to leaving it the way it is?<br>
&lt;dael> Rossen_: That was going to be my proposal too<br>
&lt;dael> Rossen_: And if needed this can be brought back<br>
&lt;dael> Rossen_: Prop: No change to name, stay with size-adjust<br>
&lt;dael> smfr: No obj but then we have size-adjust font-soze-adjust and prefix text-size-adjust which is things with similar names doing different things<br>
&lt;dael> Rossen_: Based on WG votes we don't see to want to change strongly. Forcing a resolution and if people have strong opinions we can bring it back<br>
&lt;dael> Rossen_: Are there objections?<br>
&lt;dael> RESOLVED: No change to name; stay with size-adjust<br>
&lt;dael> Rossen_: Please engage in issue if want further discussion<br>
