`oblique` dates back to (at least) CSS 2.1, and AFAIK did not originally say anything about the angle, only that it should select a face labelled as being oblique. [CSS Fonts 3](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-fonts-3/#font-style-prop) also didn't specify an angle. I don't think old sites or browsers tended to assume anything specific about the angle of slant. (In gecko, at least, I don't recall ever having a 20° slant, although it may at one time have been somewhat platform-dependent rather than being explicitly managed.) What I'm uncomfortable about here is that we'd be changing the serialization of `font-style: oblique`, a value which has existed "forever", to a new form of serialization that existing code may stumble over. -- GitHub Notification of comment by jfkthame Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/8291#issuecomment-1377047825 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
