Description

What type of issue is this?

Incorrect support data (example: BrowserX says "86" but support was added in "40")

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

Due to https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/pull/24155, several features in web-features have newly uncertain Baseline dates. It looks like all of the affected features are caused by ranged values for Firefox (desktop) from the following keys:

  • css.properties.display.table-caption
  • css.properties.dominant-baseline (and descendants?)
  • css.properties.background-size.auto
  • css.properties.fill-opacity
  • css.properties.stroke-opacity
  • svg.global_attributes.fill-opacity
  • svg.global_attributes.stroke-opacity

It would be nice to avoid these ranges, as they prevent the calculation of a single date for whole groups of keys.

What browsers does this problem apply to, if applicable?

Research direction

Start with the listed CSS and SVG compatibility-data keys, focusing on Firefox desktop ranges, and compare their history with PR #24155. Determine the correct unranged values and verify that the affected feature groups can produce a single Baseline date, using the web-features review link as context.
