All that coolness needs to be described in some kind of language, why not HTML+CSS? It has the power. Yeah, I'm going to concede this point. We don't make such restrictions with any of our other specifications, so I think encouraging people to use grid-template, etc., will just be part of "best practices." dave (hyatt@apple.com)
