This study [1] developed a detailed model and showed the technical feasibility for a rich application of CSS-like styling to WebCGM. [1] http://www.cgmopen.org/technical/stylable_cgm_submitted_0324.pdf Despite the technical feasibility, the WebCGM 2.0 authors and constituents agreed that the the principal WebCGM use cases did not justify the cost and implementation effort of such a full-featured normative CSS capability in WebCGM. Therefore normative CSS-like style sheets were not further pursued. Nevertheless, whenever possible, applicable features and characteristics of CSS were followed in the design of WebCGM 2.0, especially the new DOM-based Style Properties feature. For example the inheritance model of CSS was adapted directly into the Style Properties inheritance model (section 5.4), and there are a number of other examples of functionality borrowed more-or-less directly from CSS. ===== end =====Received on Monday, 13 July 2009 16:10:48 GMT
