It's easier to get voices to acclaim a change than to keep things the same. Personnaly, I dislike the proposal to use the dollar sign for variables. This is a PHP-only convention, and one of the reason I dislike coding in PHP. I know many people who dislike to use $ for variables. Beside the fact some poeple don't like it, this doesn't follow the established CSS conventions. Also, please keep in mind that we don't all have EN-US keyboards. On French keyboards, typing $ is akward. One time over three, I endup typing a ^ instead. Having to type a $ hurts my typeflow. BTW, if you want a more important reason not to change the CSS grammar to allow the DOLLAR symbol, I have one: html { $color: red; } makes the text color red in IE6 and IE7.Received on Friday, 25 May 2012 08:58:50 UTC
