This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Goes like this: * There are no decorators in Web Components. Instead: * Whenever a CSS variable (http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-variables/) changes, it fires a simple event (non-bubbling, non-cancellable). * There's a CSS-based method for building extra rendering blocks of around DOM elements (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012Jan/0202.html). The latter allows us to avoid creating a markup-based vehicle to generate rendering blocks. The former allow us to send signals down to custom elements whenever rule starts/stops matching.
Comments are welcome.
I'm confused by the simple event. What does it fire on? How do you envision this helping?
