In the GL charter, it is made clear that one purpose of the group is to prepare usage guidelines for CSS. Now that CSS 2 has achieved the status of a W3C proposed recommendation (http://www.w3.org/TR/PR-CSS2/), it may be appropriate to start considering what types of guidelines are needed. Some are obvious: for example that style sheet developers should, whenever appropriate, ensure that their style rules are restricted to the media in which they are relevant; relative lengths such as percentage values and EM and EX units should be specified wherever appropriate so that the author's style rules will be scaled correctly if the user has chosen a large font size; the creation of an audio style sheet should be considered, especially when designing a complex web site, etc. Is it proposed that a separate document be written to provide CSS usage suggestions, or will this be incorporated into the existing page author guidelines?
