Chapter 3 as well.

Interesting. I personally would very much like CSS 2.x to become as 
obsolete as CSS 1 is today. I know it’s gonna take time, but we’ll work 
toward it piece by piece.

Sure, there is no rush. But if we’re making a new Snapshot it’s a good 
opportunity to pull in the intro and other things that don’t really fit 
in any specific module, making fewer pieces of 2.x we need to find a new 
home for.

Sure, I’d be happy to point to a generated thing rather than maintain it 
manually.
