Tree-line lists would be nice, but aren’t semantically obvious. Defining a list as a tree doesn’t offer any benefit in terms of organization, it’s purely decorative. Still would be nice.

One thing that stuck out like a sore thumb:

> Scriptable Selectors

> Idea was that a selector accepts a JavaScript function that returns true or false, determining whether the selector matches or not. VERY strong reservations about this from implementors: executing functions during selector matching is scary, particularly if those functions are allowed to modify the elements during matching!

> Alternate idea is to define a set of tokens on the element node, allow scripts to add and remove tokens, and match against that set.. thereby avoiding the execution of any functions during style matching.

Don’t we already have that alternate idea? We call those tokens “classes”.

I like the idea of constants. Very often I wished that I could define a set of colour constants and refer to them so I won’t have to search and replace every occurrence when I modify the colour scheme.

In part IV, the centering stuff was quite interesting.

I agree, that if I want to apply a “centering” it is only to a specified container… I do not want any children to inherit this centering.

Good progress!

Looks like they are talking about doing “text-orientation” so you can do vertical text. Hopefully that will make it.

Wow, looks like the group has been very busy. I dig the constants and tree-lines proposals.
