I don’t know if anything came out of it, but Chrome expressed some interest at some point: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Apr/0216.html More recently, Firefox 19 added support for @page: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/19.0beta/releasenotes/ https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115199 Nothing from level 3 yet, but still some progress around Paged Media. But even that aside, let’s assume the browser vendors never really take interest in Paged Media as it stands. Then what? Will the interest suddenly come when we add lots of new features? As you said, there is a lot more that CSS could do with eBooks, word processors, publishing, and in many other contexts that are not in web browsers. Should the lack of interest from browser vendors prevent this? -- Simon Sapin
