Minutes Telecon 2015-07-08

• Everyone was okay with having some overlap time with the SVG WG during the Paris F2F instead of during TPAC.
• Resolved: keep images and an images/ folder and source files in a source/ folder for each spec.
• Clarification on percent margin/padding was deemed editorial and will be addressed by the editors.
• Resolved: add block-start-outside and block-end-outside to caption-side property
• One of the blockers for the conversation about the relationship between overflow: clip and BFCs was the use of the word ‘clip’ when it really was a property to just do overflow: hidden, but not allow scrolling. If the property is re-named (hidden-no-scroll was the name used in the call) a main objection will be removed. A larger issue as to if this is solving an important problem was also raised. One side was that this is along the same lines as will-change that allows authors to indicate intentions in order to speed up the browser. However, the same argument that will-change was fixing an implementor issue can also be applied to overflow: clip. Florian will write an e-mail summary of the conversation and the options moving forward to continue the conversation forward with input from those that weren’t on the telecon.
• During the conversation about variants of pre-wrap and longhands of the white-space property the third option in Florian’s list of suggestions (available here) was discovered not to be a potential solution. It was instead replaced by eliminating the white-space longhands that are causing the problem. Discussion will continue on the list.
• The conversation on bikeshedding user-select: element will wait a week so that people can review the history of this property.
