Oh, I quite like the inheritance model. Some inheritance suggestions were discussed on this list in February, see http://www.nabble.com/-css3--Suggestion%3A-Selector-variables-or-%E2%80%9Csy nonyms%E2%80%9D-td15315866.html#a15315866 (it's a long thread with several different suggestions) Then, in April/May Daniel's and David's CSS Variables suggestion appeared as a high priority module, without support for inheritance or any other means of "expanding multiple property assignments with a single reuse statement". As Daniel participated in the February discussion, but left inheritance out of his spec, my previous mail tried to formulate something as compatible as possible with his preferred approach that would still achieve the multiple properties goal. I'd rather have a non-perfect design in reality than a perfect design in theory ;-). But I'd be very happy if you manage to persuade w3c to standardize your model. Best regards Mike Wilson
