Re: [csswg] Agenda conf call 10-Jan-2018

Hi folks,

Since I agenda+'ed a ton of css-font* issues, I should explain why and 
what I want to achieve.

The last CR publication of CSS Fonts 3 was in 2013. Since then we have:

- greatly improved implementations
- more thorough tests
- a better idea of what is at risk and what should get bumped to Level 4

So we resolved to publish an updated CR. Transition request in progress:
https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/blob/master/css-fonts-3/transition-cr-2017.md

However, that requires a disposition of comments for all comments made 
2013-2017. We didn't have one, so I went digging and put one together:
https://drafts.csswg.org/issues.html?spec=css-fonts-3&doc=cr-2017

These agenda items are to deal with comments that were seemingly not 
addressed. I am fine with any of the following resolutions to each 
(remember this is for updated CR not PR, though I hope PR is not too far 
away):

- we solve the issue and resolve not to change the spec
- we solve the issue and make editorial changes to the spec
- we solve the issue, make substantive changes, and add tests for them
- we leave the issue open and republic CR noting this is still open
- we resolve to move the affected feature to Level 4 (I hope not too 
many of these)

That will let me update the disposition of comments and thus request 
updated CR transition.
