From my STTS author's perspective, for at least one reason : STTS is
not cascading. All rules and all declarations are applied, first read
first applied. A cascading transformation language using the CSS
general syntax would generate a completely different solution, and
IMHO dramatically complexify the whole thing.

STTS does not need at all to be a CSS3 module. It will refer to some
CSS3 parts/modules (selectors, syntax, error handling) and will adopt
any profiling system CSS could propose in the future. I think it is
enough to make a coherent system, companion of CSS, w/o co-evolution
problems.
