Ah, you've uncovered my primary motivation here :-).

Agreed. Daniel, Peter - let us know if you need something specific re  
resources.

That is certainly an OK position from my perspective but I think to a  
large extent, it is the CSS WG's call.

Daniel, Peter, Bert, Chris - what are your thoughts on this?

Agreed and since Anne already expressed a preference to use www-style  
[1], then unless someone objects, we should use that list.

Daniel, Peter, Bert, Chris - if you have any thoughts on the Task

and not creating a TF.
