So, it's not that we have a dependency on CSS 2 vs. CSS 2.1, but rather that we don't have a strict dependency on either one. Since the Process Document does not allow normative dependencies on specs less advanced along the Rec track, we have no choice but to reference CSS 2 until CSS 2.1 is more mature. Going forward, the SVG WG does intend to align with CSS 2.1 and CSS 3 instead, so we don't anticipate any conflicts there as well. I hope that this satisfies your comment. Please let us know immediately in either case, as we intend to make our transition call tomorrow. Regards- -Doug
