Thanks for the heads up. Eric & I have followed up there and will

General Independent Framework (pronounced "jiff," of course).

Low-Level Abstract Platform would also be a logical choice.___

Great! It's an increasingly common pattern that could use some help from
the engine.

Cool. I agree with the general principle, but I want to ensure Web
authors don't have to roll their own scrolling engine with transforms
and rAF just to do interesting things like non-janky infinite scrolling.
I think this will require some additions to the platform, but hopefully
we can keep the Web-exposed changes minimal.

I'm in the middle of writing up an email for www-style with our thought
process and what we've looked at; stay tuned.

Yup! Tantek's gathering proposals for CSS4 UI features on the CSSWG
wiki; this proposal is on the list there.

Re: [webkit-dev] new -webkit-user-select value: atomic

2012-08-07 Thread Edward O'Connor
Hi,

After reviewing the original specification for 'user-select: all' [1], I
think the behavior we had in mind for 'user-select: atomic' matches the
original intent of 'user-select: all'. It also partially matches the
Mozilla behavior, and I believe the differences are likely to be bugs in
Mozilla's implementation. I've encouraged Alice to proceed with
implementing, using 'all' for the property value, while we continue to
work the issue in the CSS WG.


Thanks,
Ted

As far as the resolution media query is concerned, the resolution of the
new iPad and the iPhone 4 (and anything else with a device-pixel-ratio
of 2) is exactly 192dpi.

This is because the CSS 'dpi' unit is defined to mean dots device pixels
per *CSS inch*, and CSS inches are hardcoded to be 96 CSS pixels.

This means that—without real physical units—the resolution media query
is always redundnant with device-pixel-ratio, which a) we already
implement, and b) is easier to explain to authors than explaining why
both the new iPad and the iPhone 4 are 192 "dpi".

webkit-dev probably isn't the best place to design new Web-facing
features; in particular, there is ongoing work on this problem space in
the CSS WG, the WHATWG, and elsewhere. See for instance the threads
starting here

http://lists.whatwg.org/pipermail/whatwg-whatwg.org/2012-February/thread.html#34683

and here

Anybody is welcome to contribute to www-style and the whatwg list.

Re: [webkit-dev] CSS Aspect Ratio Parsing Stage Up For Review

I think we should wait until the aspect-ratio property is incorporated
into an Editor's Draft in the CSS WG before exposing an implementation
of it to Web content. Also, the CSS Image Values and Replaced Content
module already has an object-fit property[1] which WebKit doesn't yet
implement. We should probably make a pass at that before having a go at
something similar that's not even in an ED.

The spec requests that vendor-specific attributes take names of the form
"x-vendor-feature":

http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/infrastructure.html#extensibility

So x-webkit-scoped would be the way to go.
