Subject: XP> [CSS3 Print] New feature proposal: 'fit' and
'fit-position'
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 http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-box#fit for a description.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If you have objections to this proposed change, or wish to express
support, please post your opinion here or to www-style@w3.org by September
23.
Best wishes,
Melinda
