See thread starting http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2009Nov/0043.html for example (referenced pretty recently too) has reasoning. > Which I'd really like to see, because if we're going to violate long-standing author > expectations around '0' Where are these expectations coming from? http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512/syndata.html#q20 (CSS 2.0, back in 1998) says that times can't be unitless. Compare it to http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512/syndata.html#length-units which says that 0 lengths can be unitless. Or is the expectation coming from the fact that most web authors never used any times, only lengths, which don't have the same syntax, and now they're starting to use times and being confused? -Boris
