I’ll raise this over at the W3C and see if we can again get consensus. I know the Firefox folks were updating their implementation so hopefully we can convince them to align with us. I’ll see if I can also get someone from Chromium to weigh in.

Huh? I had no idea that was a thing?

Maybe, yeah… maybe we can deprecate angle and standardize that instead?

What’s the use case you had in mind for angle?
