Cascading Style Sheets Standard Boasts Unprecedented Interoperability
07 June 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9116
W3C announced new levels of support today for Cascading Style
Sheets (CSS), the language for adding style to Web content. W3C
released an update to the core CSS standard, "CSS 2.1," to
reflect the current state of support for CSS features, and to
serve as the stable foundation for future extensions. CSS has
been in widespread use as an Open Web technology for more than
a decade, but it took many years for implementations and the
specification to converge. The collective efforts of the CSS
Working Group, implementers, contributors to the CSS Test
Suite, and the W3C CSS community have made interoperable CSS a
reality for the Open Web. More than 9000 CSS tests have made it
easier for designers to create style sheets that work across
browsers, and across devices. "This publication crowns a long
effort to achieve very broad interoperability," said Bert Bos,
co-inventor of CSS and co-Editor of CSS 2.1." Now we can turn
our attention to the cool features we've been itching to bring
to the Web." The CSS Working Group also published two other
Recommendations today: "CSS Color Module Level 3" and "A MathML
for CSS Profile." Read the press release and testimonials, and
learn more about Cascading Style Sheets.

First Draft of CSS Regions Module Draft Published
09 June 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9123
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published
the First Public Working Draft of "CSS Regions Module." The
CSS Regions module allows content to flow across multiple areas
called regions. The regions do not necessarily follow the
document order. The CSS Regions module provides an advanced
content flow mechanism, which can be combined with positioning
schemes as defined by other CSS modules such as the
Multi-Column Module or the Grid Layout Module to position the
regions where content flows. Learn more about the Style
Activity.

metadata and persistently storing data.
