The CSS WG has published two back-to-back Working Drafts of the CSS Box Model Module Level 3: https://www.w3.org/TR/css-box-3/ The first publication, https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/WD-css3-box-20180731/ archives Bert and Anton’s changes to that spec since the 2007 draft for archaeological purposes. (Note: It is still dangerously out-of-date.) The second publication, https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/WD-css-box-3-20180809/ drops all of the spec content that a) discusses box generation; this has been moved to the CSS Display Module https://www.w3.org/TR/css-display-3/ b) discusses the Block Layout model; this will become its own module and will be based on the prose in CSS2 (which has been maintained) rather than what was in the css3-box specification (which was not) and the remaining content, which c) discusses the box model (margin/padding/border/content areas) has been synced to CSS2. See https://www.w3.org/TR/css-box-3/#intro The scope of this module is now just the margin and padding properties. There are no non-editorial changes since CSS Level 2, other than adapting the prose slightly to account for vertical writing modes. This publication also gives us Bikeshed-linkable definitions for some very common layout terms like “margin box” and “padding edge”. (Yay!) Note: A future revision of this module might include the border styling properties (currently defined in css-backgrounds-3); whether or not to move them is currently open question, thoughts on this idea welcome. Please review the draft, and send any comments to this mailing list, <www-style@w3.org>, prefixed with [css-box-3] (as I did on this message) or (preferably) file them in the GitHub repository at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues For the CSS WG, ~fantasai
