Level 3 modules should never normatively reference the monolithic Level 2 (incl. Revision 1). They may informatively reference (a section of) it where their definitions of properties and values differ from earlier specs. Elsewhere they should only reference other modules (from Level 3 or later) and other specifications of course. Actually with CSS21 becoming CR, there should have been produced in parallel a number of baseline Level 3 modules which were ready for CR, too. They would just split CSS21 into modules without altering or introducing anything. This isn’t necessary for existing Level 3 modules that already have reached CR or are close to it. – Or CSS21 should have been modular already. Managing a modular spec is hard enough, don’t make it more complex with references to non-modular predecessors.
