RE: [css-snappoints[ CSS snappoints update

Sorry I missed this, didn’t hit my email rules.

I'm glad to hear Mozilla is still interested in shipping snap-points -- after the declaration from Google that they aren't interested in the properties I've certainly focused less on this area.  If Mozilla is still interested I'm happy to pick this back up as an active project.

Thanks,
-Matt

The Mozilla bug for this feature:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=945584

As Rob noted, our implementation work has advanced to the point that we'd like to clarify the normative descriptions prior to shipping in Firefox.

A couple of things have changed since the last go-around:
1) It's become clear that the previous model we had where snap-points depended, in part, on the direction of a scroll gesture, was a mistake. So that brings us closer to consensus.
2) Some use-cases which some people wanted CSS snappoints to solve (e.g. scripted smooth scrolling by a whole page) can now be satisfactorily solved using CSSOM APIs, e.g. element.scrollBy({ left:..., behavior:"smooth").
I still think a case has not been made for scroll-snap-points-x/y to support any value other than "elements", so we should get rid of it.
I think scroll-snap-coordinate should allow specifying the type of box used (margin or border-box, at least) as well as an offset from the edge of that box.
I still think that scroll-snap-coordinate and scroll-snap-destination are terrible names.
I'm worried that there are loads of outstanding issues noted in the draft but there have been no edits since March :-(.
