> Major topics for Tuesday included: > Rotation > Scheduling > CSS Snapshot 2007 That should've been s/Tuesday/Wednesday/ Also I forgot one: image-orientation ----------------- RESOLVED: image-orientation accepts all angles, rounds to nearest increment of 90deg, and spec says authors SHOULD NOT specify angles other than increments of 90deg. RATIONALE: Since a number followed by alphabetic is parsed as a length, we can't allow '90deg' but not '90.0deg'. If we allow radians, then what matches? '3.14rad' and '3.14159rad' are both approximations of 180deg, but they are neither equal to 180deg nor equal to each other. We could either allow only degree measurements (which would be odd because all other angle properties accept all angle units, just like all other length properties accept all length units) or accept all angle values and simply round to the nearest 0deg/90deg/180deg/270deg angle. The WG, to avoid changing parsing behavior and because it seemed more intuitive, opted for the latter. ~fantasai
