No, it's not optional, but that is because section 3.2 requires that user agents implement CSS consistent with the descriptions laid out in the spec, including section 6. Specifically, in the case of 6.1.3, the two "must" requirements that apply are "For each element in a document tree, it must assign a value for every applicable property according to the property's definition and the rules of cascading and inheritance" and "A user agent that renders a document with associated style sheets must respect points 1-5 and render the document according to the media-specific requirements set forth in this specification", which are list item 4 and the third bullet point in section 3.2 respectively. Please let us know if that addresses your concern. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
