CSS development is exactly as public as HTML is. Everything done in the CSSWG is done on public mailing lists or in public and logged IRC rooms. There is no significant difference in the development of HTML and CSS in the dimensions you mention. (This is irrelevant to the actual merits of this bug; it just bugs me when people assume that there's something magical about one spec group or another.) -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
