Any news on this?
2 years since this became a recommendation.

2 years since this became a recommendation.
https://www.w3.org/TR/css-box-4/#propdef-margin-trim

Note that the specification is not a recommendation yet but a "first public working draft", which normally means it is still many years away from becoming a recommendation. Even the previous specification CSS Box Model Module Level 3 is not yet a recommentation.
Regarding margin-trim, there are currently still three issues open in the specification, https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3314, https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/6922 and https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3256, so its definition is still incomplete.

And the date of the specification is just the one of the newest version of it which normally updates relatively regularily.

With all that said, I would love to see this being implemented pretty soon as it covers a very common use case. One way to push this is to mention it in the State of CSS 2022 survey which will happen pretty soon.

thanks.
Just curious: "TR" once used to mean "technical recommendation", meaning "it's done for now and official", unlike "WD" (working draft) or "CR" (candidate recommendation).

I understand the meaning of publications on csswg.org, but when did unfinished specification become published under a W3C TR address? That's not helpful to understand and follow the current state of CSS modules, hence my notion "this became a recommendation"

Thank you and will check with the 22 survey!!

TR actually stands for "Technical Report", not Recommendation. The maturity levels like WD and CR are a different thing.

The maturity level can be seen at the left side of any specification. You can also see the status of all CSS specifications under https://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/current-work.

But now enough side-tracking of this issue. Further discussions should be held privately or in the CSSWG.

Adding a reference to the webkit bug, which is https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=245598

(They're also adding tests for this feature to WPT in https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/pull/38019 )

For what it's worth, Safari shipped margin-trim in 16.4.

Also, the related Chromium bug is https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1405835.
