973280 - -moz-control-character-visibility should not be hidden from the DOM

Status: NEW

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, defect)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

The CSS property added in bug 947588 should be visible to the DOM 
  (1) for consistency with every other CSS property (bug 947588 comment 74),
  (2) so it can be tested by the property_database.js tests, and
  (3) so my DOM fuzzer can test it easily

Comment 1

Would the new CSS_PROPERTY_ALWAYS_ENABLED_IN_UA_SHEETS bit together with a pref help here?

Comment 2

[Cameron McCormack (:heycam)]

roc said that the way view-source pages load their style sheets means they aren't parsed as chrome style sheets (though I can't find the comment in bug 947588 where he said that now), so I don't think it would help unless we changed that.

[Henri Sivonen (:hsivonen) (on vacation)]

Is there a reason not to unprefix this and expose to the Web normally? (Other than not having a spec ans another impl.)

Comment 4

[Masatoshi Kimura [:emk]]

We should hide this (not only the DOM attribute but also the CSS property) from the content until the spec is ready.
