Dear WebApps WG, CSS WG,
(CC: CSS WG due to the potential relevance of the topic to CSS Media Queries
specification [1]).
Following the recent discussion in WebApps WG about the below proposal, I have
the following further points:
1. The ViewModes specification would be preserved as the member of the "Widgets
1.0: family of specifications" ([2] or [3])
2. The "new" specification could be titled "Media Queries: API & Events", it
would not be a member of the "Widgets 1.0: family of specification" and would
probably have to be thoroughly consulted with the CSS WG.
Thanks.
Kind regards,
Marcin

Subject: [ViewModes] Proposal: split the specification, add new events
Hi All,
Attached you can find the summary of the media features, as specified in [1]
and [2].
Within this mail I would like to raise/discuss two points:
a) architecturally inconsistent handling of media features and their related
APIs/events per spec
b) propose new events
Ad a)
There seems to be architectural inconsistency regarding what is specified where.
The basic media features are listed in [1], additional "view-mode" media
feature is specified in [2], and the APIs/events related to all of those media
features are to be specified in [2].
I think we could fix it before it is too late.
My proposal is:
1. Let [2] specify only "view-mode" media feature.
2. Move the scripting interfaces from [2] to some new spec.
3. I could prepare the split.
Ad b)
As listed in the attached document the orientation and aspect-ratio media
features do not depend on the device and may change dynamically. So I would
like to propose the following:
1. Add OrientationChangeEvent
2. Add AspectRatioChangeEvent
If the split of the specification would be (widely) accepted, these additions
would go to the new spec (titled e.g. "Media Queries: API & Events", as
originally proposed).
Please let me know what you think.
Thanks.
Kind regards,
Marcin
