Well, it was one opinion. Its not the opinion of the CSS WG as a whole.
For example, the gd unit springs to mind. 

And it seems to be mixing up implementations and specifications.
Implementations will upgrade to new specs as soon as there is a good
business case to do so (cool features, money making opportunities, and
so on).

I observe that the use of CSS with XML is producing new and more agile
browsers  -  agile in the sense of implementingnew specs fast - which do
not have to struggle with the legacy burden that HTML usage has.
