If you want to get into details, Firefox and future Opera also append "; ". If we were starting from scratch, I'd agree with you. Given that we just had to switch away from that behavior to the "; " behavior because of real world site compatibility issues, I'll be against this change, on grounds of "don't break the web". > Unless *all* major browsers produce exactly the same behavior, my > position > is that we can change to a more rational, standard behavior.

Well, currently, Opera, firefox and webkit do produce the exact same thing for style rules (modulo the semi column, but we're aligning) and for media rules. I would venture that this is not by chance, but rather because we have copied each-other (or copied IE) to solve interoperability bugs.
