The #WebStandard WCAG 2.1 가 한국어로 번역되었습니다 #a11y #WCAG21 http://www.kwacc.or.kr/WAI/wcag21/ https://twitter.com/w3c/status/1257938238326689793

The @csswg has published "CSS Box Sizing Module - Level 4" as first public working draft. This module extends the #CSS sizing properties.
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-sizing-4/

CSS has different ways to size boxes. Paragraphs are as wide as their container, floats are as wide as their content. To get a paragraph no wider than its content, you can make it a float or a table. But that has side-effects

So, after #CSS Sizing Level 3 which let a paragraph be sized as if it were a float, Level 4 will allow a float to be sized as a paragraph. And it will solve another hard problem: link the height of a box to its width (aspect ratio).
