| Angle values (denoted by <angle> in the text) are used with aural cascading style sheets. It should be noted that they might be used by other parts of CSS, too. Skewing and rotating are frequently requested, e.g. for table headers, even if current plans might restrict usage to intervals of 90¡. Of course <angle> actually should have been used for the hue value in 'hsl()' and 'hsla()'. <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ www-style/2005Jul/0319.html> | deg: degrees | grad: grads | rad: radians | turn: turns These should be briefly explained by giving their number per full angle, i.e. 360, 400, 2á¹, 1. The description of 'grad' should include a mention of the alternative name "gon". I would also like to propose another unit called 'pi' as a usable alternative to 'rad', although "1pi" would equal "0.5turn" which isn't that cumbersome already. I believe I have mentioned this idea earlier, but using 'pirad'. | Angle values should be normalized to the range 0-360deg by the user agent. This might not be useful for animation, i.e. rotations -- even if such are not yet specified in CSS.
