Yep! > The errata says it "records known errors". While some clarification would be good, this probably is not an error in the spec. Is anything like > CSS 2.2 planned or is it that some day, CSS3 will eventually have enough modules in REC and make CSS 2.1 obsolete? Both. We'll eventually fold in the errata and publish a "2nd Edition" of CSS2.1. and probably at some point we'll have enough CSS3 modules that we'll obsolete the spec in favor of some combination of CSS3+ modules, just like we obsoleted CSS1 by pointing at the CSS2.1 spec. ~fantasai
