Hi, please let us (API owners) know once the
implementation has been updated and we'll LGTM, thanks!

TL;DR please update to match the existing spec and file
standards positions requests with the other implementations.
I researched the feature and think it should ship with
the default of "start end" as specified in the spec.
Current tests are here
<https://wpt.fyi/results/css/css-text-decor?label=master&label=experimental&aligned&q=text-decoration-skip-spaces-001.html%20or%20text-decoration-skip-spaces-002.html%20or%20text-decoration-skip-spaces-003.html%20or%20text-decoration-skip-spaces-004.html%20or%20text-decoration-skip-spaces-005.html>.
The compat risk is only for the beginning and end of
lines. I think it's unlikely developers will dislike no
longer underlining extra space at the beginning or end of
some text. I also think this situation is uncommon in
existing sites; developers have to go out of their way to
cause extra spaces to appear next to a run of text. (Also
note: the default does *not* skip spaces in the middle of
text.)
I did notice that there don't seem to be any tests for
the default (i.e. a test that doesn't set
text-decoration-skip-spaces at all in the CSS), please
add that.

(Re-sending since the theading got messed up, sorry
for any double-send).
A concrete first step would be to file engine
standards positions per the instructions in
https://www.chromium.org/blink/launching-features/wide-review/#standards-positions
to
concretely ask Gecko and WebKit whether they plan to
support this. In those threads you could ask that if
they do plan to support this, whether they’d ship
with ‘start end’ per the spec, or ‘end’ which is
closer to their current behavior per
https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4653, or
something else.
If no one else has plans to ship this then I’m less
concerned about diverging from what the spec has, so
‘none’ would be fine. We should then push to have the
spec reflect reality rather than the other way round.

Thanks Dan.
My plan is to ship with 'none' as the default,
because I think such compatibility is less risky,
but it will lead to inconsistency with the
specification.
It seems that Firefox and Safari do not support
it so far. Maybe I missed something.
I'm not sure how to continue. Could you give me
some advice? Thanks.

We talked about this during the API Owners
call today and something that came up was
this Issue 6 in the spec:
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-decor-4/#issue-4229bfce
Is your plan to ship with 'none' as the
default, or try 'end' to more closely align
with the Firefox and Safari behavior noted in
https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4653?
API Owners may be open to taking on some
compatibility risk here if we think it'd mean
shipping a better behavior, as long as we go
into it with both eyes open and are ready to
activate the kill-switch if there are issues.
And can you request signals on this from
Gecko and Webkit? Are there developer signals
we can point at to see that people need this
feature?
Thanks,
Dan

*Specification*
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-decor-4/#text-decoration-skip-spaces-property
*Summary*
The text-decoration-skip-spaces CSS
property controls whether text decoration
lines (underlines, overlines,
line-throughs, etc.) skip over whitespace
characters. This allows authors to
prevent decorations from being drawn
under spaces, which is often more
visually appealing.
*Blink component*

<https://issues.chromium.org/issues?q=customfield1222907:%22Blink%3ECSS%22>
*Web Feature ID*
text-decoration
<https://webstatus.dev/features/text-decoration>
*Motivation*
Currently there is no web standard way to
control whether text decorations
(underlines, overlines, line-throughs)
appear over whitespace characters.
Authors commonly want to suppress the
underline under leading/trailing spaces
in inline elements, but CSS provides no
mechanism for this. The
`text-decoration-skip-spaces` property
fills this gap, allowing precise control
over decoration rendering around
whitespace. This is useful for navigation
menus, links, and any text where the
decoration should visually attach only to
non-space characters.

Open questions about a feature may be a
source of future web compat or interop
issues. Please list open issues (e.g.
links to known github issues in the
project for the feature specification)
whose resolution may introduce web
compat/interop risk (e.g., changing to
naming or structure of the API in a
non-backward-compatible way).
