Developing specifications for the CSS language
Miriam is an Invited Expert on the W3C CSS Working Group, helping to develop the next level of Cascading & Inheritance, in addition to other CSS standards. She’s also active in the CSS4 and Design Token Community Groups.

All my research, explainers, and proposals are available at css.oddbird.net.
