You suggested directions, yes, but not necessarily how to achieve them... There's already the prioritization, but, what's inessential bloat for one community is drop-dead essential for another equally large community. Nothing that has been implemented can be removed without breaking content. My own feeling is that the CSS WG needs to split into task forces, since magazine publishing, application development, ebooks, hypertext documents and Hollywood Hypermedia Infotainment/Brainwashing all have close overlap and yet distinct needs. But that's my own feeling, it's it's very clearly not generally agreed in the CSS WG.
