Hello Karen, Friday, October 17, 2014, 12:30:28 PM, you wrote: > I'm wondering aloud: If calc is indeed no longer at-risk, is it > possible to remove it from the list of at-risk features here? http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-values/ Wide support means that interoperability is proved by passing all the tests, not that we guess that maybe it is fully implemented. Marking something as at-risk has a positive benefit: it alerts browser developers to step up their game and make sure it is well implemented. > Karen > On Fri, Oct 17, 2014 at 3:36 PM, Dirk Schulze <dschulze@adobe.com> wrote: > On Oct 16, 2014, at 12:34 PM, Karen Menezes <karen.menezes@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Hey... >> Wanted to inquire about calc being mentioned as an at-risk feature here: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-values/ >> >> It has wide support in all modern browsers and is often invaluable for layouts that mix fixed and fluid percentages (where border-box sizing doesn't help).... wrote an article here for the same: http://blog.karenmenezes.com/2013/dec/10/why-calc-risk/ >> >> I pinged Lea Verou on her blog and her reply is below: >> "I doubt calc() is really at-risk, it's probably just forgotten there. at-risk means we don't have 2 independent implementations, but for calc() we do: In fact, every modern browser supports it.
