Actually, CSS is independent of HTML and will remain so. At some point, the CSS specification included the hooks (e.g. the STYLE element and the STYLE attribute) needed to reference style sheets from an HTML document. These hooks have been taken out of the CSS specification and are scheduled, as you say, to go into the next version of HTML. Otherwise, I think your describe the past and present of HTML very accurately.
