When I first became a CSS 'believer', it seemed to me that the primary goal should be a consistent property-based styling language that would simplify both markup and UA design. Considering the unfinished state of basic work in the CSS2 spec (e.g. tables) and the depressing state of UA support for even the basic CSS1 spec, I think any serious consideration of regexps is premature. The basic foundation still needs a lot of work. Although there's obviously a need for programmatic styling, I thought it was a foregone conclusion CSS wouldn't be the means. David Perrell
