Removing them from CSS2.1 doesn't make a whole lot of sense and would be confusing to anyone outside the WG environment that happens to be referencing the CSS2.1 spec. While the exact model is not unambiguously defined, there is a usable subset of functionality that is both widely and interoperably implemented. And since they remain defined in CSS1 and Selectors Level 3, dropping them from CSS2.1 wouldn't actually gain us anything anyway. ~fantasai
