Research direction

Start by reviewing the css-sizing-3 specification material about compressible elements, percentage or max-width compression, minimum sizes, and aspect ratios. Determine whether an explicit minimum size in the other dimension should transfer through the aspect ratio, then document the agreed specification change or decision.

Description

Commenter Response Pending css-sizing-3

@bfgeek noted that when we allow compressible elements to compress down due to a percentage width or max-width, we limit that compression by their minimum size. He suggested that for elements with an aspect ratio, we might consider any explicit minimum size in the other dimension, transferring that through the aspect ratio. Do we want to spec this?
