CSS Logical Shorthands
These days, it's a common practice to use logical flow-relative properties & values like `block-size` whenever possible. But the shorthand properties feel stuck in the past. It's surprising that a `size` shorthand can't set the `inline-size`, and the `inset` shorthand doesn't include `inset-block-start`.
There are several proposals to move forward, but they've been stalled in the Working Group for several years – waiting for someone to do the necessary background research. Let's make it happen!
- A Github issue been open since 2017, to discuss the problem and potential solutions
- In 2021, Elika Etimad and Jen Simmons and I proposed a multi-step path forward, to progressively move towards logical properties as a simple default for CSS
- Every year at TPAC, the Internationalization Working Group asks us to make progress and provide updates.
- Every year, we disappoint them.
