No, but adding new features to CSS will not help avoiding bugs and bad implementations of existing browsers.

If all browser vendors had implemented CSS correctly, those hacks wouldn't be needed. It's not the W3C's job to clean up the mess. (Okay, there are some minor parts where the spec is or was too unspecific or self-contradictionary.) Furthermore in my opinion only hacks that rely on parser errors are evil.
