It doesn't quite allay the concern -- it might be "language version independent" as seen today --- but it'll effectively dictate how future versions of CSS evolve -- in the name of "backward compatibility". I would express an equivalent concern over the way CSS selectors are presently tied into XBL -- it's also not clear in that instance which version of CSS is being "bound" to.
