Well, it was one opinion. Its not the opinion of the CSS WG as a whole. For example, the gd unit springs to mind. And it seems to be mixing up implementations and specifications. Implementations will upgrade to new specs as soon as there is a good business case to do so (cool features, money making opportunities, and so on). I observe that the use of CSS with XML is producing new and more agile browsers - agile in the sense of implementingnew specs fast - which do not have to struggle with the legacy burden that HTML usage has. -- Chris
