At the risk of resurrecting a lengthy discussion ... I remember skimming over this issue at the time, but have recently been made aware of it again and I'm trying to just check...is this essentially saying: developers want to distinguish between "the viewport is a certain size because the device/browser window/etc is set to a certain size" and "the viewport is a certain size because the user has zoomed"? because if so, I'm really not sure I'm a fan of this idea, because the whole point to me would be that it doesn't matter *why* a viewport is reported as being a particular size, as a developer you should design your content so it works well within your given viewport (regardless of what *actually* caused it to be that way). and yes, I can see how that brings up issues *if* you base your font sizes on viewport units, but that's then effectively the caveat/danger of using those units? and that those units like `vm` by their very nature, if used on their own in particular, are zoom-resistant so will, by their very nature, not lend themselves to allowing authors to meet text resize requirements? -- GitHub Notification of comment by patrickhlauke Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/6869#issuecomment-1970828945 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
