This would require that the cascade be split into two parts, with the anonymous table construction in the middle. As I understand it, it is our intention to move CSS to a world where you can implement the whole cascade, in one pass, without doing any layout at all. This allows implementors a much greater freedom to optimise their algorithms and data structures, something which is important both for small devices, more of which are implementing CSS every day, and for computers, where users are clamouring for smaller and smaller layout times. -- Ian Hickson )\._.,--....,'``. fL "meow" /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,. http://index.hixie.ch/ `._.-(,_..'--(,_..'`-.;.'
