[css-cascade] CSS Cascade Level 3 Candidate Recommendation

The CSSWG recently published CSS Cascading and Inheritance Level 3
as a Candidate Recommendation:
   http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-cascade/

W3C encourages implementations of this module, and welcomes
feedback resulting from such implementation. Requests for new
features will be assigned to Level 4.

CSS Cascading and Inheritance describes how to collate style rules
and, by way of cascading an inheritance, assign values to all
properties on all elements in the document. New features since the
previous level (CSS2.1) include:
   - the 'initial' and 'unset' keywords
       http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-cascade/#defaulting-keywords
   - the 'all' shorthand
       http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-cascade/#all-shorthand
   - cascading rules for scoped styles
       http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-cascade/#cascade-scope
The spec also collapses all inputs to the cascade into a single
list, making it easier to understand how different levels appended
to the CSS2.1 definitions fit together:

Significant changes since the Last Call Working Draft are
listed at:

Please send any comments to the <www-style@w3.org> mailing list,
and please, prefix the subject line with [css-cascade].

For the CSS WG,
