I don't think I was mixing things up.... The second type can be a special case of the first type, if the document contains stylesheet references outside the <head> (which plenty of documents do). > Users clearly want Type 1 Progressive Rendering and most browsers do it.

And once you do, you end up with the second kind on any page that doesn't keep all its stylesheets in the <head>. > But Type 2 is generally considered an undesirable artifact Agreed. > The sense of "progressive rendering" in the CSS Variables discussion is > all about Type 2 Agreed. > Though, as I explained, this isn't really significantly different from > cascading with rules in other stylesheets that are not yet loaded, as > far as Type 2 progressive rendering is concerned. I haven't tried implementing this, but I suspect you're right on this. -BorisReceived on Thursday, 26 June 2008 23:06:41 GMT
