Do these layout proposals sound exciting to you? Jump on the
www-style
mailing list to provide feedback on them! Just note that the mailing list will
flood your inbox, and you should carefully filter the emails so that you pay
attention only to the drafts you are interested in.
Write demos and test how these work, and if you find bugs in the builds that
have these properties, provide feedback to the browser vendors and submit
bug reports. If you have suggestions for changing or adding properties to
these proposals, do write in in the mailing list (or you can
bug me on Twitter
)
