Minutes Telecon 2021-04-14

• @scope work will be done in the next level of CSS scoping; miriam will be added as an editor
• Resolved: Have display:math behave as mrow and ping accessibility groups to see if that’s an issue (Issue #5388: math/inline-math (whether display:math on a non-MathML context should be more inline or block))
• Resolved: We are interested in defining all the math display types necessary for MathML layout to not be element-dependent (Issue #5866: MathML individual display types)
• There were three possible paths forward in handling display-legacy parsing (Issue #5575: Should display-legacy values be aliased at parse time?):
  1. Alias at parse time
  2. Define the new and old values as 2 independent values with same behavior so they always parse differently
  3. Do in between where some APIs return old and some return new if you specify new values
  • Most of the debate was between options 1 and 3:
  • Those arguing for option 1 believed it would be the easiest for authors to understand.
  • The argument for option 3 is it allows newer APIs to return the new values but prevents changing the return of older APIs when a new value is used. This would prevent breakage when using scripts that do not accept the new values.
  • More data about possible breakage will be added to the issue in order to further conversation.
