litherum has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == The definition of text-wrap:balance is overprescriptive == https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-4/#valdef-text-wrap-balance > Line boxes are balanced when the standard deviation from the average [inline-size](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-writing-modes-4/#inline-size) of the remaining space in each line box is reduced over the block I'm specifically concerned about defining balancing using a rigorous definition of "standard deviation ... of the remaining space". This is one particular definition of balanced, but there are quite a few different definitions that could be used with different tradeoffs. In particular implementations will likely use a fast approximation of balancing, and won't actually use this specific mathematic formula from the spec. The spec should be relaxed to not prescribe any mathematically precise definition of "balanced."
