CSS1 becomes W3C Proposed Recommendation

If we want to change the CSS class selector character from ".", we should
set whatever political process is needed into motion immediately. There are
only a few implementations now. We should fix this now.

We should also consider approaching the HTML ERB to ask them to change the
HTML DTD to be compatible with the XML-HTML DTD as soon as possible (HTML
3.2? Cougar?). This change should not invalidate current documents.

The review period will end on 11 December 1996 24:00 GMT. Within 14 days
from that time, the document's disposition will be announced: it may become
a W3C Recommendation (possibly with minor changes), or it may revert to
Working Draft status, or it may be dropped as a W3C work item. This document
does not at this time imply any endorsement by the Consortium's staff or
member organizations.
