Re: CSS property name incompatibilities

/ Håkon Wium Lie <howcome@opera.com> was heard to say:

Seems entirely reasonable to me, though I doubt it's the sort of
correction that can be made in the context of a minor update like XSL
1.1. Perhaps we should setup a task force to revisit harmonization
across the board when we get to 2.0? I guess that'd have to be taken
up at the HTML/XML CG level?
