Hi! I’m an intern at Mozilla looking into implementing the Properties & Values API in Firefox/Gecko. My mentor & I noticed that a year ago the spec changed [0] about what interface the registerProperty/unregisterProperty functions are defined to hang off of. They used to be defined on the Document interface, but now are defined on the CSS interface [1], which previously only had static functions [2][3] (escape and supports). Is the ownership / lifetime / etc. of the CSS object specced/described anywhere? Right now in Firefox, there is no CSS object — it’s just a class with a few static functions. Is it supposed to be owned by the document, the global object, or something else? Alternatively, should the register/unregisterProperty functions be static, like the other functions defined on CSS? Finally, is the ownership model / lifetime / etc. of the CSS object explained or implied in any spec at this point? Thanks.
