David, >>>>>> should download css before parsing html. >> DD> But CSS is supposed to be an optional presentational layer. The >> DD> operative word should be "may" not "should". >> 'optional' theoretically or practically ? DD> Practically. I think 'theoretically separate layer': usual users (not specialists) don't turn off css, robots always cash css-files. >> I know people, >> who browse without downloading pictures (e.g. I), >> but i know nobody, who without css. DD> I have turned CSS off from time to time. It can make some documents DD> much more readable. Turning off is necessary very seldom: content of these sites are always not interesting, so it's never need to turn at second page of site. --- >>>> DD> Lynx is a browser. Lynx does not support JavaScript. >>>> It cover very little part of population. >>>> To my mind, it's anachronism. >> DD> To my mind it is a small, fast, useful tool. >> Size of program is not important in epoch of DVD, BluRay, etc. DD> It is important in the epoch of palmtops It would be laughable, if we disfigure standards, because we forget to write concrete program (for special device). >> It's not important, how much time of rendering is less constants >> of human perception (1 sec): 0.05 sec or 0.5 sec You agree, that faster-than-human-perception is not important ? >> And without pictures, it's not useful - observe today's inet.

Impossibility itself to display pictures is big strong defect.
