I need an interface (or interfaces) for tree-style access to cascading style sheets to write general purpose CSS processing tools. Pretty printers, validators, analyzing tools like the SelectORacle or my Selector Visualizer [1], conversion tools that convert e.g. XHTML+CSS documents to XSL-FO documents, etc. DOM Level 2 Style/CSS is basically not targeted at my needs at all, I get some of the Core stuff I need but not enough to be useful and I have to bother with lots of specialized stuff that is not useful to me at all especially as the specialized interfaces tend to break through time like ElementCSSInlineStyle or CSSPrimitiveValue/CSS_ATTR. A CSS DOM Use Cases and Requirements document would probably be helpful. [1] http://sf.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=5849028
