Here is a list of all the specs and proposals which are likely to impact Readium CSS in the future. Some of them are still in their early days but you’ll probably have to review implementations once they are clearly defined and Readium CSS is updated accordingly.

The W3C CSSWG-Drafts repo is a good way to keep up.

Readium CSS’ fundamental approach has been reviewed and should be future proof, but you’ll have to keep the following in mind since EPUB 3.2 is now using CSS snapshots – those specs and proposals are very likely to be listed in future snapshots.

Logical Properties and Values

CSS Extensions

  • Source
  • Impact: Global (CSS architecture)
  • CSSWG issues
  • Note: this specification defines methods for extending several CSS features (custom selectors, custom properties, custom functions, custom combinators, custom @ rules).

Calc notation: min() and max()

  • Source
  • Impact: Global
  • Note: this could help us define floor and ceiling values for a lot of configurations (e.g. have a ceiling for headings font-size when a large user font-size is set)

User Agent Properties

  • Impact: Default, Themes, User Settings

CSS Rhythmic Sizing

CSS Fonts Module Level 4

COGA Semantics to Enable Personalization
