The CSS Problem

Not sure how many of you saw this exchange today,
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012Nov/0191.html

but I think that this is just more reason for our approach.  The
problem isn't so much that those features are in CSS - that's good
actually... People don't have to learn and use all of them and, in
fact, many won't.  The problem is that if we had focused on this
problem instead, those things could have evolved and iterated,
competed, lived/died and evolved without the prefixing problems and
without taking quite so much of the limited resources W3C and
individual browser manufacturers have, users would be giving feedback
quicker, none of their stuff would need break and we could collect
real world data about usage to justify native versions.

Just my thoughts and I'm going to keep them off that list for now as I
don't think we are ready for the conversation it would likely generate
:)
