Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Review MathML (#313)

> Another important property of HTML is that the layout provided by most of the current HTML tags are also available as CSS properties. See display=table|list-item|… or vertical-align=sup|super . Following this idea, it would be great to have display=fraction, display=underover and so on.

Just to clarify this, the point of Houdini's CSS layout API is exactly to allow defining this kind of user-defined display, so *a priori* it does not seem necessary to explicitly asks web engines developers to implement them natively (of course as long as users are fine implementing them in Javascript). As said above Igalia's MathML project will rely on LayoutNG (Chromium's C++ implementation of the CSS Layout API) so this is aligned with that goal and in the long term that could help to achieve your request. But IMHO at that time it's probably too soon to send such a request for new math-specific display values to the CSS-WG.
