W3C is its members in this regard. The spec comes from discussions between our members in the HTML working group. If there isn't a general consensus that a given feature will be implemented then it can't be part of the spec. > If stylesheets are indeed being pushed by the W3C as the next > big thing, then shouldn't these elements be marked deprecated > to discourage their use? We do intend to provide a strict version of the Cougar DTD with all the presentation clutter removed. A further possibility is to make this an XML application, as a stepping stone to allowing people to extend HTML on a per document basis, using the style sheet to bind to the semantics and presentation.
