I wonder if we need an additional success criterion for GL 2.4:
<proposal>
Chnages to content, structure or relationships within the content can 
be programmatically determined.
</proposal>

I'm not sure that "programmatically determined" is the right phrase 
here. But if applying a CSS style sheet or, especially, if changing a 
style sheet changes the information that is programmatically available 
to the user agent, there needs to be some sort of notification that 
things have changed. This also seems relevant to scripting issues.
