Here are the comments that Mozilla just sent as part of the Advisory Committee review of the CSS working group's charter. -David The reviewer's organization suggests changes to this Charter, but support the proposal whether or not the changes are adopted. Additional comments about the proposal: While we're not completely happy with the results of the group's prioritization exercise, we recognize that it was based on a long discussion within the group and don't want to reopen it at this stage of the process. However, there is one thing that I think ought to be changed: the charter currently says that "The Group jointly develops the CSS Fonts Module with the SVG WG." My understanding is that the initial rationale for this joint development was because the SVG group had editing resources to devote to the document and the CSS group did not. However, the current situation is the reverse: the CSS group has an active editor for the document, so it seems reasonable to revert to the original situation in which the document was developed by the CSS working group. Perhaps it should now say "coordinates" instead of "jointly develops"? The reviewer's organization intends to participate in these groups: - Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) WG The reviewer's organization: - intends to review drafts as they are published and send comments. - intends to develop experimental implementations and send experience reports. - intends to develop products based on this work. - intends to apply this technology in our operations. Comments about implementation schedule: Our implementation of CSS is ongoing and we expect it to continue to be. I think we've already implemented (in some cases with vendor prefixes) most of CSS 2.1, selectors, media queries, color, namespaces, and multi-column, and significant parts of borders and backgrounds, transformations, the object model, and fonts. We intend to continue work on improving what we have already implemented, and on new features especially in the borders and backgrounds, fonts, values and units, transitions (and perhaps animations), the flexible box model, tables, and text / text layout. -- L.
