The current documents regarding what may or may not appear in CSS3 are:

   http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-CSS-potential
   http://www.bath.ac.uk/%7Epy8ieh/internet/wwwstyle.html

The first is a list from the W3 regarding possible suggestions of
extensions to CSS for CSS3. The second is a document be me :-),
basically the minutes of this mailing list. The content of the two
overlap, but not everything listed in the first is in the second and
vice versa.

Not a bad idea, although I suggest that extending the 'blink' keyword
is probably not going to be a _popular_ idea, because:

  a. Most people hate blink anyway.
  b. The text-decoration property is a generally vague one anyway. For
     example, 'underline': Where does the underline go?
  c. It is not backwards-compatible.
