I’ll only be at the meeting on Tuesday (I’ve already booked the flight back to Seattle and vacation starting Wednesday). So I’ll be lurking in the vicinity on Monday - if anyone has suggestions on a good place to hang out nearby (good wifi, perhaps espresso?) please contact me off-list. Thanks,

Andreas, Don't take the ranking in that poll as an indicator. There's no way to compare interest in Variables against the other specifications, as it was omitted from the original poll and the only data points are from write-ins. That's what the gray styling means in the page you linked. I have n

Adam, Currently, an Element is the only thing represented in the object model that can become a CSS Region. Pseudo-elements (::before and ::after) can become CSS Regions, but AFAIK there isn't yet a representation of those in the OM. I'm hoping this changes in the future (I'm working on a spec th

The spec itself consistently and deliberately calls them "CSS Regions," so a CSS prefix could be appropriate. Thanks, Alan From: Adam Barth mailto:aba...@webkit.org>> To: Andrei Bucur mailto:abu...@adobe.com>> Cc: "webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org" mailto:webkit

The best way to judge whether a reference result is correct is to submit the result to the W3C CSS 2.1 test suite and have it reviewed. The only way this test suite will get more reference results is if people like us volunteer to submit references. If it's useful to us to have these 'homebrew refe

If I delete a .png test result and I make a git diff without using the --binary flag, the style EWS bot complains. I can see why it would complain if I were rebasing the file - you need the binary data to see what's changed. It makes less sense to me to add the binary data to the diff if the file

I have an idea for writing LayoutTests where what's being tested are line breaks. Take the case of this recent bug fix: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2 The problem here was that if you had a left float and text-indent combined, the text-indent was not being considered in the line br
