aloha, bruce!
you wrote, quote
I took a fairly casual glance at the W3C CSS "test suite" at URL:
http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/ and more specifically
URL:http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/current/sec03.htm which implies that
CSS1 is supported, but CSS2 is not. I don't know which are the more
troublesome portions of CSS1.
have you taken a look at
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS-access
to me, personally, the 3 most important things about CSS2 are:
1. the cascade order, in which the user gets to claim !important, which is
tantamount to having final say over presentation... this endows users with
a means to (a) ensure uniformity in the presentation of content, and/or (b)
override author defined styles that make the document illegible to that
particular user;
http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512/cascade.html#important-rules
2. the inclusion (mainstreaming?) of the @media aural rules as part of the
recommendation:
http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512/aural.html
3. and pseudo-elements
http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512/generate.html
about which the User Agent Guidelines Techniques document has a lot to say
http://www.w3.org/TR/UAAG10-TECHS
of course, that's only one blind man's point of view...
the positioning features of CSS2, while intrinsically interesting, are very
poorly supported... however, i believe opera is working on (full?)
conformance to the CSS2 recommendation
http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512/conform.html#conformance
by the public release of version 4
