Minutes Telecon 2015-03-18

• The continue property for region-fragment received the most attention for bikeshedding. One issue with continue is that it is a verb when almost all property names have been nouns or adjectives. Some people were inclined to return the name to fragmentation but most of the group felt that would have no context outside of the working group. It was suggested that there was likely vocabulary for this concept and that users of programs like inDesign or PhotoShop would likely have some suggestions.
• There was also clarification on the purpose of having the region-fragment properties defined outside the overflow context. It was agreed thought they are similar, they’re not the same and therefore should be separate.
• TabAtkins brought up that the current behavior of all isn’t viewed as particularly accessible since it removes the :focus outline on an element. Consensus was the old default that was removed from the spec would fix the problem. The spec authors will go back and see if there are any reasons that default was removed that need to be addressed and re-introduce next week for formal resolution.
• The Microsoft team will look into if Microsoft is open to submitting .cur and .ico to the web consortium.
• Resolved: Add a note saying .cur and .ico are the standards and they will be expected in new products. It’s an informative note. It will be up to the person writing the note as to what exactly goes inside.
• There were no objections to mandating PNG as a supported format of the image CSS value, as well as SVG if the implementation supports SVG and saying for cursor that all non animated formats supported for image MUST be supported in cursor, and that all animated formats supported in image SHOULD be supported in cursor. However, Microsoft asked for a week to review, so formal resolution will be asked for on next week’s call.
• Most people seemed to agree that we should overflow the same way we’re doing other logical properties and whichever is declared later wins the cascade, but conversation will continue on the mailing list to suss out any added complications.
• For now, work on trailing-spaces will be in CSS Text Level 4
