[webkit-dev] Request for position on the aspect-ratio CSS property

Personally I am in favor of removing -webit-aspect-ratio, however I 
think -webit-aspect-ratio: from-intrinsic and 
-webit-aspect-ratio:from-dimensions do have some effect when looking at 
the code. Does anybody know if it is actually used out there? Do we need 
to keep it? Maybe Dean Jackson knows?

Regards,

Rob.
