Nominating nsbeta2. DOM2 CSS must FC (for whatever CSS2 features we will 
support) for nsbeta2 and provide a solid web application platform. Johnny's 
working on these and in many cases already has code ready to land; the rest 
should be finished ASAP and managed by exception.

This is implemented in mozilla, the only thing that remains is to remove the
inheritance from CSS2Properties and make CSS2Properties a co-interface to
CSSStyleDeclaration, but this is completely transparent to script writers and
thus not required for nsbeta2, removing keyword, and setting milestone to M19.

Pushing off to Future, this might get fixed if we do a interface freese for
the DOM intefaces so we might haveto pull this back...

We could use an implementation (in ECMA binding anyway) of
CSSStyleDeclaration.getPropertyCSSValue() so that we can get a Rect object for
the clip style property. Right now, all we get is the DOMString of the clip
value (e.g., "rect(0px 50px 100px 0px)") which makes it very cumbersome to parse
for reading individual edge values.

In comparison, the NN4 layer object had a suite of clip-related properties
(clip.top, clip.right, clip.width, etc.); IE5+ provides individual edges through
the currentStyle object (clipTop, clipRight, etc.). The way I read DOM2, we
should be able to get edge values like this:

[elemRef].style.getPropertyCSSValue("clip").getRectValue().top

Not particularly smooth, but it's better than parsing the clip string.

Nominating this bug for nsbeta1 on behalf of [e-mail].

Whatever the importance of this work, there isn't time to start and complete it
for nsbeta1.  Marking nsbeta1- and setting Target Milestone to 0.9.2 for
reevaluation after beta.

No a mozilla 1.0 stopper.

Um, so what exactly is left to do here again?

Comment 13

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Hmmm... now that all our CSSDeclarations implement CSS2Properties and even do it
almost correctly, not much...

Comment 14

[Christopher Aillon (sabbatical, not receiving bugmail)]

So can we resolve this then?  If there are any issues left, maybe a separate,
specific bug would be good, because this bug surely is confusing...

Comment 15

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Yep.

Okay.  :-)
