1435684 - Enable the paint-order property for stroke and fill of HTML text

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, enhancement)

Description

[Jonathan Kew [:jfkthame]]

As the CSS WG has agreed to spec this[1,2], I'd like to go ahead and turn it on, to encourage web designers to try it out, and to encourage other browsers to follow suit.

Attachment: Enable the paint-order property for HTML text

David, given the CSS WG agreement to accept this, can we go ahead and ship it at this point?

Enable the paint-order property for HTML text

r=dbaron, but please file followup bugs to:
 * remove the svg.paint-order.enabled pref (maybe now, if it's baked in enough at this point?)
 * remove this pref at some point in the future

I've fixed the compat data information to show it is on by default in Fx 60, and added a note to the Fx60 rel notes:
