Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-2024] The Current Work page is, well, not current (#9790)

Thanks, Chris!

I indeed maintain the current work page. Some parts of it are 
automatically updated, but not all.

For the list of publications there is an automated process that checks 
daily for new publications that are not yet on the page and sends me 
email if one is missing. I then add that publication by hand, because, 
if it is a new draft, I also write a summary for it. I could automate it 
and copy the abstract, but the abstract of first drafts is usually not 
very good. The downside is that, if later drafts add significant new 
features, I may not notice. (Similarly if editors are added or removed 
in a later draft, I usually don't notice.)

The classification such as ‘testing’ and ‘refining’ is somewhat 
subjective and hard to establish, so I only reclassify a specification 
when it's very clear. (Fantasai, who originally created the 
classification, has on occasion helped.)

The status of Color level 4 was an editing error. I found a few more and 
I just fixed them.

B.t.w., Color level 5 *is* listed, as a WD under ‘Exploring’.

I removed the link to Jens Meiert's property index.

As for the code used by these pages that @SebastianZ mentioned, it is 
well documented. But, for security reasons, only the W3C team can edit 
the W3C web site (with very few exceptions).

So, Chris, if you have time to improve the page, please do!

The reason https://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/all-properties.html says that it 
may miss properties is precisely *because* is it automatically 
generated. It relies on the markup in the specifications and there is no 
manual verification. I think incorrect markup is rare nowadays with 
specs using Bikeshed, but nine years ago there were still editors' 
drafts with properties without markup.
