>From my observations CSS has long started to suffer from its modular approach, and we now seem to deal with a rather severe problem of spec fragmentation. As this affects HTML too (where I’ll bring this up as well, honoring the different groups’ preferences) I’ve elaborated on this issue in a short post: http://meiert.com/en/blog/20131205/spec-fragmentation/ On the CSS side, some of the options I see (explained in said post) include: * Extend the W3C’s main CSS overview page [1] by including and maintaining a full list of all CSS specs, both at the W3C *and elsewhere*. * Make an effort to reduce the number of current specs and modules to a workable minimum. * Consider establishing principles around the desired granularity and complexity of CSS as a whole. I like to raise this so that the issue is flagged and that there can be a healthy debate. I’m traveling but will follow along and add where I can. [1] http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/ -- Jens O.
