Re: Minutes from User Agent Teleconference for 29 May 2008

My updated printing proposal:

(1) We remove "pieces of paper" from the definition of "viewport"

(2) Add a new success criteria for "Guideline 3.11 Help user to use and 
orient within viewports":

SC: 3.11.X Print Scale: If a print from viewport feature is provided,
the user has the option of specifying that the current viewport scale 
settings be used. The user agent must attempt to *passively reflow* the 
content into the paper dimensions, as appropriate to the language. Any 
overflowing content must be printed on additional sheets of paper.

The definition of "passively reflow" is at:

Cheers,
Jan
