Unfortunately, unless I used LESS to preprocess, I would have to wait until most Web browsers still in use were supporting it (I can't just have half my audience not have decent styling, just because they are using older browsers), and that might take a long while. Even so, I think it would be great if we could get those two parts of LESS, at least, into the spec. Well, yeah, this wouldn't be an immediate solution. But no solution would be, even, say, moving to a single -draft- prefix, as there are still tons of vendor-prefixed stuff out there. So yeah, we'd need to wait a while. But it's probably a good idea, and I was just providing this as a use-case. It's fixing the symptoms, not the problem, but I don't think the problem is solveable, so we should just try and fix the symptoms as well as we can without introducing new problems. ~TJ
