I'm sorry, but what Mozilla supports is rather different from what's described in the CSS3 UI CR in a variety of ways (mostly related to min/max-width/height). Further, what's described in the CSS3 UI CR has some conflicts with the CSS2.1 CR (conflicts with the spirit, not the letter) [1]. All that apart, I note that you said two "working" implementations, not two "interoperable" ones. I'm not sure that publishing a book and including a property that is not guaranteed to remain in the specification (since the only such guarantee would be demonstrating two interoperable implementations, and that hasn't been done yet) is the wisest course of action to take for an author who presumably wishes not to lose credibility... -Boris [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2004May/0220.html
