[compositing-1] CR Draft of Compositing-1

[svgeesus]

It is long past time for a Candidate Recommendation Draft of Compositing-1. The previous publication was Jan 2015

I noticed a couple of issues that should be cleared up before that:

• The Changes section lists "The following changes were made relative to the Candidate Recommendation of 20 February 2014:" but the previous publication was 2015 and has the same changes section. Changes should be updated for Changes since the 2015 CR
• One of the editors, Rick Cabanier, is not in the CSS WG or SVG WG so should be moved to former Editor

+1 to doing this work. I've been lax myself but would like to help.

[svgeesus]

Thanks @chrishtr

In terms of keeping a changes section up-to-date, meaningful git commit messages are a big help. I don't know if you are using some sort of toolchain that does this, but a commit message of "none" means that each commit needs to be carefully examined to see what it actually changed.

[svgeesus]

So I added changes since the 2015 CR and I checked just now against the History and they are up to date.

I also moved Rik and Nikos (they are not in CSS WG or SVG WG) to former editor, just now. Those were the only publication blockers.

So we should publish a CR Draft.

@astearns Agenda+ for a publication decision, updated CR Draft. The previous publication was a CR in Jan 2015!!

Ah, I see also @fantasai said, in an unrelated issue:

I think mix-blend-mode should be animatable. I suspect what happened is that the reformatting of ”Animatable” to “Animation type” didn't catch the compositing spec because it's in the FXTF repo, and it's really supposed to be “discrete”.

which relates to

• [FXTF] Update “Animatable” lines to “Animation type” in all propdef tables #521

[svgeesus]

Animation type is fixed by 402eece

Oh and I updated the test status, which was wildly out of date (65 manual tests, unmaintained)

by adding wpt annotations, so now we have (225 tests, run every day)
