+Abstract: CSS is a language for describing the rendering of structured documents (such as HTML and XML) on screen, on paper, in speech, etc.  This module contains features of CSS relating to one possible mechanism for adapting pages designed for desktop computer displays for display on smaller screens such as those of mobile phones.  This mechanism involves displaying a scaled down display of the Web page and allowing the user to pan and zoom within that display, but within that scaled down display making certain text and similar elements larger than specified by the page author in order to ensure that when a block of wrapped text is zoomed to the width of the device (so it can be read without side-to-side scrolling for each line), the text is large enough to be readable.

+Introduction {#intro}
+=====================
+
+  A common mechanism for displaying Web pages that were designed for
+  large desktop displays on much smaller displays such as those of
+  mobile phones involves allowing the user to pan and zoom around within
+  a view of the Web page drawn as though it were drawn into the width of
+  a typical desktop Web browser display.  The ability to pan and zoom
+  the page lets the user both see an overview of the page and zoom in to
+  specific parts to read or interact with them.
+
+  One common problem with this type of interaction occurs when the
+  user wants to read a large block of text.  It might be that a block of
+  text within this desktop-formatted page might be laid out so that when
+  the user zooms in so that the text is large enough to read, each line
+  of text is wider than the display on the small device.  This means the
+  user needs to scroll side to side to read <em>each line of text</em>,
+  which is a serious inconvenience to the user.
+
+  One way for software that displays Web pages or other CSS-formatted
+  content on a mobile device is to make some of the text larger so that
+  this problem does not occur.  The goal of this enlargement is to make
+  the text big enough so that when the block it is in is scaled to the
+  width of the display, the text is large enough to read.  At the same
+  time, this needs to be done with minimal disruption to the overall
+  design of the page.
+
+  While implementations of CSS are not required to use this
+  technique, this module describes how implementations of CSS that do
+  use this technique must do so.
+  In other words, while implementations of CSS are not required to
+  implement this module, this module nonetheless places requirements on
+  implementations of this module.
+
+  This module describes how this size adjustment works and describes a
+  new CSS property that authors of CSS can use to provide hints to the
+  implementation about which text or other elements should or should not
+  be enlarged.
+
+Module interactions {#placement}
+--------------------------------
+
+  This module adds additional features that are not defined in
+  [[CSS21]].  These features may lead to a different size being computed
+  than would be computed when following [[CSS21]] alone.
+
+Values {#values}
+----------------
+
+  This specification follows the
+  <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/about.html#property-defs">CSS property
+  definition conventions</a> from [[!CSS21]]. Value types not defined in
+  this specification are defined in CSS Level 2 Revision 1 [[!CSS21]].
+  Other CSS modules may expand the definitions of these value types: for
+  example [[CSS3COLOR]], when combined with this module, expands the
+  definition of the &lt;color&gt; value type as used in this specification.
+
+  In addition to the property-specific values listed in their definitions,
+  all properties defined in this specification also accept the
+  <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/cascade.html#value-def-inherit">inherit</a>
+  keyword as their property value. For readability it has not been repeated
+  explicitly.
+
+Default size adjustment {#default-adjustment}
+=============================================
+
+This section defines the default size adjustment rules.  These rules
+are then referenced by the definition of the 'text-size-adjust' property
+in the following section.
+
+Issue: All of the subsections of this section need significant
+refinement:  additional detail, verification that the detail already
+present is correct, etc.
+
+Issue: It's not clear how much this section should define
+precise behavior versus how much it should allow future room for
+innovation and improvement.
+
+Types of boxes adjusted {#default-adjustment-types}
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+The default size adjustment affects text and form controls, whether
+those form controls contain text (e.g., text inputs, selects) or do not
+(e.g., radio buttons, checkboxes).
+
+Conditions that suppress adjustment {#default-adjustment-conditions}
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+A number of conditions suppress the default adjustment because these
+conditions are associated with layouts for which the user experience
+would be worsened by size adjustment rather than improved by it.  These
+conditions are:
+
+<ul>
+  <li>when the total amount of text in the block formatting context (see
+  [[!CSS21]]) (excluding text inside descendant block formatting
+  contexts) is approximately smaller than the amount that would require
+  wrapping to more than one or two lines within that context's
+  width,</li>
+
+  <li>when the objects to be adjusted are inside a block-level or
+  ''display: inline-block'' element with a 'height' other than
+  ''height/auto'' (see [[!CSS21]]),</li>
+
+  <li>when the objects to be adjusted are inside a
+  ''display: inline-block'' element
+  with a 'width' other than ''width/auto'' (see
+  [[!CSS21]]),</li>
+
+  <li>when the objects to be adjusted have 'white-space' of ''white-space/pre'' or
+  ''white-space/nowrap'' (see [[!CSS21]]) or a 'text-wrap' of ''text-wrap/none'' (see
+  [[!CSS3TEXT]]).</li>
+
+</ul>
+
+Calculation of default adjustment {#default-adjustment-calculation}
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The adjustment performed should be based on preferences (of the
+renderer or the renderer's user) indicating the desired <dfn>minimum
+readable text size</dfn>.
+Given this preference, for each containing block of text to be adjusted,
+there is a <dfn>minimum block text size</dfn>:  the preference for the
+minimum readable text size, times the width of the containing block,
+divided by the width of the device.
+
+The size adjustment involves multiplication of sizes by a ratio
+determined by the minimum block text size and the computed value of
+'font-size'.  This ratio must be at least the first divided by the
+second; however, in order to maintain differentiations between font
+sizes, it should often be slightly larger.  <span class="issue">Define
+this with more detail/precision.</span>
