That is, "perhaps a better approach would be to change the CSS spec to
eliminate something we didn't have in 1999." No, thanks. Browsers use CSS.
Eventually they'll use CSS3 (even if IE/Win won't). This is something to
be applauded.
I don't see this as even being in the same galaxy as other good reasons to
update the CSS spec. (One good example was deprecating "aural" CSS, since
it was a lousy idea that never worked or was reasonably implemented
anyway.) CSS generated content is a *good* idea. You really can't use it
for anything substantial, you know.

User stylesheets always "rule"; they're last in the cascade (even after a
browser's internal CSS).
