Not really in this case, you're talking about changing underlying box model properties in fundamental ways, this isn't just a set of specialized additions that are easily modularized, this affects a wide swath of modules. Just because it has existed in XSL or XMDF or bbebxylog doesn't make it a simple task to integrate it into CSS. And calling folks incompetent doesn't help either. John Daggett
