OTOH, EASE does quite the latter, but can't handle the former at all. That's why I was advocating for a solution that allows either approach, and even mixing both when appropriate. On a side note, about the idea of mixing CSS+EASE or CSS+CRDF or CSS+whatever: my PoV is that these *should* not be mixed; but any CSS-like semantic description would benefit from some foolproofing, ensuring that if an author puts CRDF this would get ignored by CSS parsers (and viceversa). In addition, CSS's error-handling rules make this kind of shielding relatively easy. OTOH, adding the semantic code as part of the CSS styling, or trying to consider this as part (or even as an extension) of the CSS language is wrong by definition: semantics is not styling; and we should try to make authors aware enough of the difference.
