I built some very nice raised garden beds from roughcut cedar; does that makes me a carpenter? Expert knowledge and skill exist in every field, as does specialised vocabulary. Where perhaps we might agree is that CSS is many things to many people, and we should strive to find terminology that a) reflects common specialised usage where the standard intersects with existing practice, e.g. typography, and b) confuses the fewest number of people overall. Yes, that's a balancing act. I can't always suggest the best terminology, but I will try to flag things that strike me as confusing or at odds with common usage in my field, as I trust others will do for their fields. [I will be away for the next few days, so will not respond further until the end of the week.] JH
