So which rendering mode should I be vetting CSS for? Strict or limited quirks? Some of the CSS that I review is specifically tweaked for limited quirks since that's what the Wikimedia sites are running in. Honestly, I don't know all of the problems that this change will cause. I imagine it will just be lots of slight changes to how elements line up, i.e. things shifting by a few pixels in most cases. For example, this: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/wiki/File:Login-applied-82155.png instead of this: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/wiki/File:Login-simplesearch-84908.png
I haven't thoroughly investigated the ramifications of switching our rendering mode, and apparently no one else has either. I'm just as anxious to start using HTML5 as everyone else, but I think we should have a better plan than "break stuff and revert if enough people complain". If we know that there are potential issues, shouldn't we have developers assigned to investigate those issues and report back before we start deploying things? At the very least, we should get some developers to inventory the CSS changes that will be needed and have patches ready for the switch. Otherwise each project is going to implement their own fixes locally and we'll end up with totally fragmented CSS. Also, does anyone know if this will affect $wgUseTidy?
