Re: Tying CSSOM and CSS

Phistuck, are you proposing having separate pages for the CSSOM property
and the CSS property, with somewhat automatic linking between them? Or are
you proposing just having CSSOM details on the CSS property pages?

I think it would be great to automatically generate the CSSOM name based on
the CSS Property name while allowing overrides for the odd cases (some of
which you mention). However as far as I know there's no easy way to
camelcase text in MediaWiki--perhaps there's an extension that others are
aware of?
