Let's compare this with CSS:
<STYLE>
BODY { background: black }
H2 { font-size: 12px; font-family: times serif; color: white }
H3 { font-size: 10px; font-family: times serif; color: white }
</STYLE>
In my (biased) eyes, the CSS syntax seems more intelligible. How would
you mark up context-sensitive selectors in your syntax?
For recent news on style sheets, see [1]. The style sheet resource
page will give you more background information [2].
