David Perrell said: | Yes, the last thing CSS needs is a bad case of 'propertyitis' (similar | to the infamous 'tagitis' which produced an outbreak of netscapisms). Q: Should future extensions like the suggested one be handled by only one mechanism (HTML attribute *or* CSS1 property), or will CSS1 mirror HTML attributes and vice versa ? Both are nearly disjunct layout models for HTML, so if some of it lacks features of the other this would increase confusion. The other way round, if every CSS1 property is reflected by an HTML attribute, the current 'attributitis' will never stop. Vicious cycle ?! ++im -- Snail : Ingo Macherius // L'Aigler Platz 4 // D-38678 Clausthal-Zellerfeld Mail : Ingo.Macherius@tu-clausthal.de WWW: http://www.tu-clausthal.de/~inim/ Information!=Knowledge!=Wisdom!=Truth!=Beauty!=Love!=Music==BEST (Frank Zappa)
