The CSS-WG has examined the <a href="#pb">remaining failing tests</a>,
88+
and based on the following considerations,
89+
believes that
90+
<strong>the Candidate Recommendation exit criteria are fulfilled</strong>:
91+
92+
<ul>
93+
<li>
94+
The success criteria established in the working group charter speficy that
95+
<q>In order to advance to Proposed Recommendation,
96+
each module is expected to have at least two independent implementations
97+
of each of feature defined in the specification</q>.
98+
With multiple browser engines (as well as non browsers) implementing the specification,
99+
this criterion is fulfilled,
100+
even though there remains a few tests for certain specificities of some features
101+
that do not yet have two passing implementations.
102+
103+
<li>
104+
Quite a few of the failing tests have work-in-progress implementations.
105+
106+
<li>
107+
CSS Writing Modes Level 3 is a particularly complex specification,
108+
affecting all aspects of layout.
109+
For a project of that complexity,
110+
no matter how much time we spend on it,
111+
there will always be a few more bugs to fix,
112+
and a few more nuances to get right.
113+
We should not let the fact that we're being thorough with testing
114+
impede the progress of specification,
115+
and we believe that it is appropriate to signal to the broader community
116+
the degree of stability of this specification
117+
by publishing it as a Proposed Recommendation,
118+
then as a W3C Recommendation.
