Re: Fw: Box-shadow : Why not follow the standardized OpenXML specification ?

I think OOXML is not adding a lot of features to your model.

But it should be great that you have a look to it. Not for follow
it at 100%, but to be sure that all things that are possible with
this specification is also possible with yours too.

I don't want to make CSS a "paste" of OOXML, this is in fact a bad idea.

They have more ambitious purposes, so they implements more features and
properties. I think it's quite normal.

CSS can (and must, I think) evolve to allow each time more things to be done 
by
the developpers whithout any use of images and external design modules (like 
flash, ...).
