I don't think we should continually add more complexity to CSS
syntax to create more and more complex effects.  I think CSS should
instead do something more generic to solve this sort of problem that
doesn't require repeated additions of complexity to implementations
and to the Web platform, and that allows authors to solve this sort
of problem without asking for new features to be implemented in
browsers.
