I agree with these extensions. These features are very useful for contents authors.
Best Regards.

The CSS3 Box module contains two features that HP believes would be quite valuable for the CSS Print solution space, namely 'fit' and 'fit-position'. See http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-box#fit <http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-box#fit> for a description. These features would be a valuable addition to CSS Print, because they enable very easy positioning of images within boxes, something those of us who have worked on templates know requires lots of messy computation and numeric values with the currently required feature set. Adding new requirements to CSS Print will cause us to retreat from CR (Candidate Recommendation) status to LCWD (Last Call Working Draft) status for at least three weeks. Since CSS Print is waiting on CSS 2.1 to advance beyond CR, this short setback won't affect its completion schedule. Neither would this additional requirement affect current standards such as UPnP Print Enhanced or Bluetooth BPP. They both point to the current CR specification, and this of course won't change. However, new standards could point to a new CR version, thereby requiring additional feature support. Questions have been raised about whether multiple levels of conformance in the market would create interoperability problems. It would not, because the change is b/w compatible (nothing is being taken away), and support for the new standard(s) would indicate support for the new features. If you have objections to this proposed change, or wish to express support, please post your opinion here or to www-style@w3.org <mailto:www-style@w3.org> by September 23. Best wishes, Melinda
