[mediaqueries-4] Steps to Recommendation #13392
Description
Here's the current state of Media Queries Level 4:
- Latest publication: Candidate Recommendation Draft from 25 December 2021
- In CSS Snapshots since 2018 (2018-2023 in Fairly Stable, since 2024 in Reliable Candidate Recommendations)
- WPT status: annotations up-to-date; Chrome: 1501/1502, Firefox: 1498/1502, Safari: 1501/1502, Edge: 1501/1502 (interop: 99.7%)
- Open issues: 27 on GitHub, 0 in spec
So I believe it is time to think about pushing this spec forward and get it to REC status.
AFAIU, the next steps are to publish an updated CRD (requested in #6900 (comment)) and based on that generate an updated implementation report. The open issues also need to be reviewed. (Skimming through them, many of them can be postponed to level 5.)

I think a review of the test suite is in order. I haven't checked recently, but my impression was that it was very shallow testing, that didn't check much beyond the syntax of things, and made little attempt to confirm that the behavior observed was indeed the expected one. If that's been addressed since last time I looked, great, but if not, we're going to need more tests. Creating an implementation report before doing that seems premature.
