Bring back the CSS bike shedding property!
There’s not necessarily a lot of whimsy in the world of web standards. A great deal of value, a lot of hard work by really smart people, but not whimsy.
Well, recently there’s been a little bit of whimsy in the otherwise dry, but very useful CSS3 Text module, with the “bikeshedding” property. But sadly, no more. bikeshedding is now more prosaically named “white-space-collapsing”, and I for one think this is wrong. So wrong, that I’m campaigning for the reinstatement of the bike shedding name.
If like me, you want to bring a little bit of whimsy back to web standards, then join the campaign by commenting below, and bring back bikeshedding!
