Re[16]: css with attribues

David,

User gets benefit (unnecessary to keep separation in brain),
machine gets loss (necessity to update tree by attributes from css).
Total: benefits of user is more important, than uncomfort of machine.

Yes, today is bad.
  Possibility to put some characteristics into comman file (css-file) is good,
but order to make this - is bad: any characteristics can be not only common,
but unique for concrete set of documents (redundant 'style=').
  Possibility to put some characteristics directly in document is good,
but order to make this - is bad: any characteristics can be not only unique,
but common for concrete set of documents (this topic in www-style@w3.org).

  Author must make line between unique and common (depending of own site).
Now some people obtrude (impose) line.

Size of CAS will be less, than size of CCS.
But CAS
1) economize human efforts
2) stricturize thinking.
