`contents` is good in natural language, "sized by its contents" but it would be the only use case I know of where plural is used and I'd lean `content` on uniformity. The group discussed `control` in relation to property names. I'm old and remember when we called them controls decades ago probably from "knobs and controls" like mechanical items. Then came widgets. But while I think of them as Form Controls, so are checkboxes, radio buttons, and buttons. Even labels and legend. `field` is more specific to what we're doing here since you're unlikely to think this relates to checkboxes or labels, or even consider it would affect those. You don't have to explain that "this is for controls, but only the controls that are text fields". I'll state my biases. I've worked on Material Design elements for about a decade now and they're called "Text Fields" there. Before, in Android it was "widgets". And before that, in WinForms, it was "controls". -- GitHub Notification of comment by clshortfuse Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7542#issuecomment-1747851236 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
