Research direction

Start with the linked CSSWG discussion and the current CSSOM serialization text, since no repository file or test is named. Determine whether scientific notation should be used, and document the conditions and formatting rules in the specification. Done means the specification has an agreed, precise serialization rule.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

cssom-1 Needs Edits

Created from https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/commit/1796eb44e47efde910e94b7704c6d85e9cda0781#r102754719.

The spec currently says that scientific notation is not used, but relevant people seem to think that we should in fact use that notation now (see link).

If so, we need to specify when sci-not is and isn't used, and how.
