Hi Jens, all, Jens, a few days ago you wrote, on the topic of the list of all CSS properties: (Ref: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2008Mar/0373.html ) > You mean not just the initial but also all allowed values? This would > certainly be nice, too … allow me a few weeks to get a realistic > impression of necessary maintenance efforts, and I'd add these as well. Count us (CSS validator developers) as very interested by such a resource. As you said, however: > Yes, it all boils down to continuous maintenance anyway ;) Would it be worth investing some time into automating, to some extent, the generation of that list from the current crop of CSS specifications? This would ensure that the list stay up to date as CSS3 modules get updated, as new modules get added, etc. Bert mentioned what looked like a simple technique in [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2008Mar/0351.html Bert, you said that the list you generate is for internal use, but would there be any obstacle to either opening that list for public consumption (with whatever disclaimer is applicable) or providing the scripts for others to use? This could help people like Jens, Rijk, Jason, and Björn keep their lists up to date. Thanks -- olivier
