@plinss, @cynthia and myself did another review of this during our Gethen vf2f. First of all, thank you for following up on with your security team and getting an LGTM from them. I personally won't push on this further given it's already captured. Another issue with this proposal is the affect it has to existing styling patterns. All conditional styling today takes place on the client as a result of style recalc in combination of various environment changes - color scheme, reduced motion, transparency etc. Exposing this through client hints will promote such conditional handling on the server side which will arguably negate some of the perf wins described and also require that state is kept on the server side. Ex. UA navigates to a.com in light mode exposed in the client hints. The server provides a light version of style.css and appropriate other content. The mode changes to dark in the same session - the server needs to recognize the change and this implies the client needs to reload possobly all the resources. Finally, I don't believe CSSWG is the appropriate venue for this work. It is the right place to define media capabilities, not client hints. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
