Not so fast. This is the first time I've heard anyone was planning on dropping this. Why? This new box-sizing property was something I and a lot of other developers were looking forward to. The original box-sizing model simply does not work in a lot of instances. If I set an element to fill the viewport - ie. width: 100%; - then I cannot, with the CSS2 model, add padding to it. I either have to pad child elements, or more likely in real-world scenarios, insert an extra empty container and give it the padding instead. What prevalent wisdom has decided we don't need this? (note - specific implementation is not my concern, I don't care where it's applied; I just want the ability to choose my box-sizing model) d.
