Implementing it is a massive waste of effort - analogous to building in a TeX formatting engine in a browser. It should only be added when the browser is perfect - doesn\'t hang the system, has a perfect UI, and most importantly ALREADY SUPPORTS CSS PERFECTLY, because that\'s an appropriate (i.e. simple, efficient, and easily coded) web technology, whereas neither (say) TeX nor XSL FOs are. Even then it shouldn\'t be implemented - apps are far to bloated with worthless features already, which only serve to use up memory, and create potential system-hanging holes.
