The actual name of the specification is "CSS Cascading and Inheritance Level 5", not "CSS Cascading and Inheritance Module Level 5".

Thanks for the fix, @BartolomeSintes!

Though instead of changing the title in the CSS Snapshot 2025, how about changing the title of the Cascade specs to bring them in line with the other ones? I've created #12866 for that. Let's see what the others are saying.

I do not know if changing a specification is an easy task, perhaps a lot of formal steps within the W3C are needed. Not much people seems to care if the word Module is include in the specification names ;-)
But until the change is done, it would be better if the specification reference would match the real specification name. Last year I made a merge PR correcting several names: #11800
I have not checked every reference, but I would say this is the only one left.

No formal steps are needed, and the primary key is the shortname.

Thanks a lot! I somehow missed that for last year's Snapshot. I'll go through the spec names in the current snapshot and check whether they're all fine now.

#12866 got approved already, so I just merged it.

And while the CSS Cascade specs need to be published again to officially include "Module" in their title, I think it is ok now to keep the word "Module" in the snapshot. Therefore, I close this PR.

I'll also check the other specs now to ensure they include "Module" in their titles for consistency.

Thank you for the list, @BartolomeSintes! I've just created I've created #12879 to unify the naming of the specs in this repo.
I did not touch the specs that are already Recommendations, though. Not sure if it's worth to change their title, as it'd require a new publication.

I still need to go through the list in the FXTF repo.
