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

> maybe it's too late for CSS4 and it should just skip to CSS5?

I had exactly the same thought recently. There are a lot of explainers why there will be no CSS4 and why it's incorrect to refer to Level 4 features as "CSS4" (often citing @tabatkins's [classic post](https://www.xanthir.com/b4Ko0)). But for CSS5, _there was no such explainer/warning about it:)_

Again, skipping number 4 isn't something new for web developers – we already had it with JS (ES3 -> ES5, skipping ES4 aka "Harmony" draft), also after almost a decade of seeming stagnation. And such a "double level up" would probably also fix the impression that CSS is somehow "behind" the latest HTML, and clear the new umbrella term from _any_ possible old wrong implication.
