It is close, but not precisely; CSS3 is better in that it defines
smaller modules, but we still struggle with slow standardization (e.g.
the prefix war). The reason is that these modules aren't built around
implementations schedule (or intents to implement), but about what the
WG think makes a logical consistent set. I believe a number of CSS3
modules could go to CR today if they were trimmed of features nobody has
started to implement.

(also, I'm not talking about modularization because it's a loaded word
for some people)
