size=2>The CSS3 Box module contains two features that HP believes would be quite
valuable for the CSS Print solution space, namely 'fit' and
'fit-position'. See <A
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-box#fit">http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-box#fit</A> for
a description.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=019273300-14092006><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#008000
size=2>These features would be a valuable addition to CSS Print, because they
enable very easy positioning of images within boxes, something those of us who
have worked on templates know requires lots of messy computation and numeric
values with the currently required feature set.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2>Adding new requirements to CSS Print will cause us to retreat from CR
(Candidate Recommendation) status to LCWD (Last Call Working Draft) status for
at least three weeks. Since CSS Print is waiting on CSS 2.1 to advance
beyond CR, this short setback won't affect its completion
schedule.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2>Neither would this additional requirement affect current standards such
as UPnP Print Enhanced or Bluetooth BPP. They both point to the current CR
specification, and this of course won't change. However, new standards
could point to a new CR version, thereby requiring additional feature
support.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=019273300-14092006><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#008000
size=2>Questions have been raised about whether multiple levels of conformance
in the market would create interoperability problems. It would not,
because the change is b/w compatible (nothing is being taken away), and support
for the new standard(s) would indicate support for the new
features.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
