As I mentioned, we have had over 900 issues raised against CSS in the last 3 years or so. That's around one issue a day, every day, for three years. Each issue has to be logged, understood, discussed in committee, may have to have testcases created, user agents studied, and results tabulated, then a resolution has to be found, new text has to be written, edits have to be made, and finally changes have to be verified and reviewed. Frankly I think it is a testament to the dedication of the CSS working group members that any of this happened. If people want this to go faster, I suggest they put their money where their mouth is, and contribute tests for the CSS2.1 test suite. That is the biggest bottleneck right now for getting CSS2.1 to REC. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
