What I am hearing from the designers is that it seems there _are_ problems
with CSS as a technological innovation.

Yes, all change is painful.  That in itself doesn't mean one doesn't
change.  But it means one is selective about the changes one makes.  Each
change must sell itself.  Maybe CSS doesn't deliver enough gain to merit
the pain.  

This is what I seem to be hearing from the designers who take the trouble
to try to tell us.  They are the W3C's customers (for Web format
technology); we only hurt ourselves if we don't listen to them.
