Which is a smaller problem, to be sure, and to be a real problem, you'd have to have both the module name and a variable in that module unintentionally collide, which also reduces the likelihood. But it doesn't appear to close the door, as it were. That doesn't appear to be a problem in languages like Python, so I won't worry about it for CSS. ^_^ ~TJ
