Re: CSS Property Milestone Project Plan

Do you think Mike was referring to all the CSS properties, including all the proprietary non-standard browser stuff? That shouldn't be a part of the central task.

Also, I could imagine the number being far higher than 80, if we choose to include all the properties from the nascent CSS3 modules, as well as the completed stuff.

I think we need to think about how we are going to do this. Should we tackle it in subsets, with different prioriites? For example

* Set 1: Everything defined in CSS 1/2.x
* Set 2: All CSS3 stuff that has at least two stable implentations
* Set 3: All CSS3 stuff that is a bit further off
* Set 4: All non standard CSS

?
