Minutes Telecon 2025-03-12
- Resolved: view-transition-name:auto never matches an explicit view-transition-name:`ident` (Issue #11614: view-transition-name: auto when matching id should namespace)
- Resolved: Change the way medium-safety alignment is handled to instead invoke the scroll adjustment machinery when handling an anchorpos fixpos element (Issue #10860: Default safety and fixpos)
- Resolved: Autospacing happens *after* bidi-reordering, and we’ll add a complex example to the spec (Issue #10803: Spacing across element boundaries for BiDi content)
- Resolved: No normative change to spec, but add example like Oriol’s and make the implication clearer in the spec. (Issue #10721: Content contribution of min-inline-size:fit-content and max-inline-size:fit-content)
- Resolved: For the final step in determining natural sizes, use the determined aspect-ratio to coerce the block size to match (Issue #11236: How to transfer intrinsic keywords via aspect ratio?)
- Resolved: Add a ‘size’ shorthand property (for ‘width’/’height’), no relation to @page’s ‘size’ descriptor (Issue #820: Adding a ‘size’ shorthand for ‘width’/’height’)
- When discussing issue #11716 (Resolved value of min size properties doesn’t round-trip) the group discovered that the proposed behavior may already be done in flex and grid. There wasn’t time to discuss further on the call, but folks will investigate further to resolve next week.

Open UI-WHATWG/HTML-CSSWG Meeting Minutes 2025-03-06
OpenUI-WHATWG/HTML-CSSWG meeting
Connect HTML spec up to new CSS `interactivity` property (WHATWG PR #10956)
- There were a few questions on the proposal and a concern about the property name itself, but generally the group agreed to proceed.
- CSSWG will discuss internally how best to signal the required property is stable.
- There is still a desire for further implementor feedback on the property.
- There were concerns expressed with removing the quirk as previous tests had revealed that would result in meaningful breakage. However, a good goal could be to emulate the quirk with current properties.
Walkthrough of the new CSS Forms spec
- The new CSS Forms spec is close to a request for FPWD.
- Feedback was positive around the draft and generally said it was in the right direction, though still had issues which will need to be addressed.
- The draft separates releasing features in a way that not everyone felt was clear or the best path forward and will need further discussion. There was a focus on how can we make it so authors can opt in to future functionality as its released incrementally.

- A few folks expressed interest in helping to address issue #11775 (Index of local font issues: fingerprinting, I18n, privacy) but had limited capacity. They will reach out to team members to see if they can find folks with capacity to assist. Additionally, ChrisL and astearns will work on addressing suggestions sent privately and furthering discussion on the issue.
- Resolved: Rename string keyword to raw-string (Issue #11645: Distinction between `attr(foo type(‘string’))` and `attr(foo string)` is too subtle)
- Resolved: Default styling for scroll markers will match default styling for links. Default styling for scroll buttons will match default styling for buttons (and appearance will apply accordingly). (Issue #10935: Default UA styles for scroll markers and scroll buttons)
- Resolved: Add a source-order value to reading-flow (Issue #11208: reading-flow and mix of auto-flow and explicit items)
- Resolved: reading-flow: source-order works on block containers. reading-order applies to block-level boxes, and not to inline-level boxes (Issue #11208)

Minutes Color HDR Breakout 2025-02-26
Color HDR Breakout
- Resolved: Remove the sentence in spec that says if sum is zero, treat as invalid; possibly add new prose about splitting the percentage, and update tests (Issue #11678: How should checking for percentages summing to 0 work in dynamic-range-limit-mix() when calc() is used?)
- Resolved: Modify spec text as discussed, to try and flesh out if there are blocking compositor issues in implementations; possibly add an appendix of test cases and blocking issues with platform limitations (Issue #11037: How should multiple layered elements with different `dynamic-range-limit` values behave?)
- The group discussed issue #11704 (Add permission policy (or other mechanism) to irreversibly limit EDR) and what user and author expectations would be. There is a need to dive further into expectations and concerns that this needs to be addressed soon since HDR is starting to ship.

- Resolved: Accept the general approach, change map naming to scale for now, iterate on syntax later (Issue #6245: Interpolate values between breakpoints)
- The group reviewed the proposed solution for issue #11408 (Do collapsed tracks also shrink the table wrapper box or only the table grid box?). The proposal made sense and was in the right direction, but there was a request to think more about handling wrapper and grid box sizes to see if there was a more expected outcome that could be achieved. Discussion will continue on github.
- Resolved: Overflow applies to the wrapper box (Issue #10881: Does `overflow` apply to table-wrapper or table-grid? css-tables contradicts CSSWG resolution)

- Resolved: Publish Snapshot 2024 from the current draft, as a Group Note (Issue #11696: Finish up CSS Snapshot 2024)
- Resolved: block-step-size inherits, and does not activate step sizing (Issue #1902: Inherit block-step-size)
- Resolved: Add a new “none” initial value to block-step-align; all other values turn on step sizing (Issue #1902)
- Resolved: Try option 2 [use the scrollIntoView() position of the non-skipped ancestor of the marker for determining when the marker is active] (Issue #11705: Should ::scroll-marker pseudo-elements within skipped content-visibility: auto elements be discovered?)
- Resolved: Specify this new parsing behavior for all substitution functions, and some sort of spread-like thing (Issue #11500: Short-circuit if() evaluation)
- There wasn’t time to discuss all the questions in issue #11208 (reading-flow and mix of auto-flow and explicit items). The group leaned toward having the ability to set a property which says reading-flow:`stick-with-source-order` to answer the first question.

Minutes Sizing Breakout 2025-02-19
CSS Sizing Breakout
- Resolved: Fixed table layout is triggered except when inline-size is auto (Issue #10937: What sizing keywords allow fixed table mode?)
- Resolved: Accept proposal (Issue #11044: How does height: stretch interact with margin collapsing with parent)
- Resolved: See if implementations can match the spec and revisit issue later (Issue #11452: Nobody follows the spec about cyclic percentages in preferred&max sizing properties of replaced element)
- Resolved: min-size: stretch behaves as zero, max-size; stretch as infinity, when in an indefinite container (Issue #11006: Does indefinite `stretch` behave as automatic size or as initial value?)

Minutes Color HDR Breakout 2025-02-12
- Resolved: Add current proposal as a note into the spec (Issue #11616: CSS syntax for HDR colors parameterized by headroom)
- Resolved:Change high to no-limit (Issue #11698: New values for dynamic-range-limit property)
- weinig will create a PR to clarify the language called out in issue #11672 (Clarification on the grammar / spec text for `dynamic-range-limit-mix()`)

- Resolved: We use a caret approach. It’s part of the syntax and not part of the name. Weak/strong with the same name is ok (Issue #6323: Allow authors to explicitly place unlayered styles in the cascade layer order)
- Resolved: Strength is exposed in CSSOM, details tbd (Issue #6323)
- Solving issue #3720 (Add a ‘hairline’ border-width value) was supported by the team, but the proposal needed more details added.
- Resolved: shape() remains as-is, spec subset that is more tightly tied to SVG
path for a path() overload (Issue #10647: Overload `path()` for CSS-y SVG path syntax instead of taking up `shape()`)
- There wasn’t clear support for the proposal to address issue #10773 (Elements with content-visibility in new Document) by having the content-visibility:auto determination run again when there is an incoming viewport. Discussion to clarify the proposal and discuss alternatives will continue on the issue.

- Resolved: Adopt safe-area-max-inset-* values (Issue #11019: Maximum safe area inset values to allow sliding bottom bar)
- Resolved: enum ScrollIntoViewContainer { “all”, “nearest” }, defaulting to `all`, expanding to element in the future if needed (Issue #9452: Option for scrollIntoView that doesn’t propagate to ancestors)
- Resolved: UAs MUST preserve user privacy (Issue #11151: Proposal: Update :visited language to state UAs must preserve user privacy)
- There wasn’t a strong preference between the two options for issue #9724 (What does the `white-space-collapse` apply to when white-space trimming/positioning) will be written up in advance of the F2F. This will allow the authors to gain feedback on ease of implementation before selecting one option.
- Resolved: Close no change (Issue #10831: `anchor()` Fallback type inconsistency vs WPT)
- The spring F2F will be April 15 to 17. There is a poll for dates for the summer F2F. Group members are asked to fill in their availability.
