So CSS impacts all of our markups with its loose-cannon approach of not requiring a namespace of its own when being applied inside other peoples' namespaces. I have just seen an example of this having previously happened during a talk at the SVG London Users Group, where I caught an odd-looking attribute, whose name came about when it had to be re-assigned due to a name collision with CSS. It was in one of XUL or XBL.
