It will surely take some time. But we also have two open-source and widely-used html/xml/css rendering libraries, so, if there is enough interest, and if the changes are easy to implement, someone could add the CSS extensions to the libraries and the browsers that use them. I took a look at the WebKit source for the first time this morning and I think I found exactly how I could implement the CSS features I've talked about. Maybe I should give it a try. What I fear is that if HTML standardize an inelegant syntax based on presentation it may come bite us later on if/when CSS has improved. Beside, stretchy parenthesis/braces/chevrons/roots don't seem to be in the reach of CSS 2.1 anyway, you'll still have to wait new styling improvements for these pretty essential parts, it could be long too.
