From: Jonathan L Neuenschwander <jonathan@ecn.purdue.edu> | > > I couldn't find 'CSS' used *anywhere* in their press release. | > | > That's true, though. | | I could find no specific mention of CSS either. However, that's apparently | not unusual, just try looking back through the archives of someplace like | C|Net. CSS is often referred to simply as "style sheets". (Please note: I | said it doesn't seem to be uncommon, I did NOT say it was right. :-) --- I'd have to agree that it isn't clear from the announcement whether they intend to support CSS. On the other hand, CSS is hardly the holy grail of stylesheet support. From a content-value-preservation point of view, it's the separation of content and presentation that's interesting, not the particular notation used for the stylesheets (which is why stylesheets were specifically separated out of HTML). Now, it would certainly make life easier if they do support CSS1, and I hope they do. On the other hand, there are a lot of things I'd like to be able to do that CSS1 doesn't support, and if thtey have an alternative stylesheet model, I would certainly be interested in evaluating its capabilities. I just hope they adopted the STYLE element and its TYPE attribute as defined in http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/TR/WD-style... scott -- scott preece motorola/mcg urbana design center 1101 e. university, urbana, il 61801 phone: 217-384-8589 fax: 217-384-8550 internet mail: preece@urbana.mcd.mot.com
