Huh, I don't recall being part of that discussion, but that sounds plausible. > I doubt if there is anything changed since then (except that we still > haven't pushed this on csswg), so maybe we still shouldn't remove it. I'm definitely ok with adding something like that if there's an use-case and demand for it... But given I haven't been able to find any actual usage of it, not even internal, I suspect there isn't much? In any case, having features exposed to the web without any specification or other browsers supporting it looks like the wrong thing to me, and the kind of thing that may bite in the future (and that makes Servo's life harder, too), so I still would like to unship it if possible. If afterwards we figure out that this is needed, I'd be happy to see it added as something every browser agrees with. My patch keeps the ability to convert physical millimeters to CSS pixels, so it'd be trivial to reintroduce if Mozilla decides to push for this feature and other browsers agree. -- Emilio _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
