And it was mind-blowing for me what they were doing in their CSS. It was so different than what I was used to, even though I'd already worked with many dozens of different teams, on hundreds of projects, in multiple countries across Europe and North America, over two decades. And yes, I saw code that had random ASCII symbols all over the place to comment things out, or make them work one way for one version of IE while another way for another version of IE. The experience taught me there's an _incredibly_ wide variety of how people write their CSS. Especially given how many web developers do not speak English — there's a lot of diversity and variety in what's considered "best practice" in one community / country / continent vs another. -- GitHub Notification of comment by jensimmons Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/8249#issuecomment-1379467481 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
