Re: [csswg-drafts] Let’s Define CSS 4 (#4770)

One last point here which I realized I have failed to articulate but is maybe important... We have in the past wanted a 'label' like this and as @zeldman notes - lots of terms have come from the developer communities "Web 2.0" "AJAX" and "Responsive Design" all being great examples of similar things from the past that seem to have a lot in common with the ask here.  It would seem to me that is it very possible for the community to actually try this today and this has the advantage of being non-speculative.  I mean, I could imagine labels like "CSS Epsilon" and "CSS Delta" might even work - but that is just total speculation.  However, if someone tries to do this, and whatever they call it or whether that even involves numbers in any way feels unintuitive, it seems to me the community will naturally pivot, offer alternatives and redirect more naturally and arrive at something which at least has some data "enough people seem to get this".  And then we can, if we want, write it down - like dictionaries do -- officially... or even just use it. CSS WG members freely use terms that aren't born in standard or written down rigidly somewhere like "responsive design".

So I guess my question is: Is this an issue for the CSSWG, necessarily? At this stage? Later?  Or is it just a way to discuss whether there might potentially be something that someday could be? Or...?
