We considered updating CSS2.1 to use IRIs. However, there was some concern that the requirements in RFC 3987 were unimplementable. In particular, the difference between steps 1b and 1c in section 3.1 imply behaviour that would be hard to specify in terms of the CSS model. There was also a concern that the difference between RFC 3987 5.3.2.2:2 and RFC 3491 2 (qv. RFC 3454 B.2) would require implements to include excessive amounts of the Unicode database in IDN/IRI-aware CSS processors. Therefore, until the working group has more implementation experience, IRI processing requirements have not been added to CSS. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
