    The most broken inconsistency across web browsers is printing, print preview, print-related CSS, etc. No print media related features made it onto this list :(

    Some of these are pretty huge.

    Responsive iframes been a long time coming.

    Good to see.

      Personally, I like the concept, but not the execution. It only changes its size externally on DOMContentLoaded, and again on load. So, if the user e.g. expands a <details> element, that won't update the size of the iframe. If the width of the main window changes size, resulting in the iframe changing width, resulting in the content within becoming a different height, it won't update the size of the iframe.

      In cases like this, the iframe has to manually call window.requestResize(). And… that just doesn't feel like a big step up from the hacks we do today.

    This needs to support category specific ranking. A feature like WebBiDi has nothing to do with the CSS engine team.

      Why does that matter? These are browser features in general for the upcoming interop-2027

      The current interop has CSS features, WebRTC, WebTransport, IndexedDB, PWA stuff, etc:

    Where are the proposals without signing in?
    • jaffathecake 2 hours ago
      https://github.com/web-platform-tests/interop/. But… yeah, they should be on the site even before you log in. Let me fix that…

      Fixed! Thanks for the suggestion. There was a whole read-only mode already there for when the process closes. I just didn't think of using it when the user is logged out.

    How’s the gap decoration proposal coming along? Last update was the Edge post introducing it…
    • jaffathecake 2 hours ago
      It's shipped in Chromium only. It's one of the Interop 2027 proposals, so it's one of the choices in the list.
