A quick note on the status of the CSS1 specification. The stated goal of the work on CSS1 [1] was to have a stable specification by the end of 1995. This was accomplished. The last version issued is dated December 22, and we encourage browser vendors to use it as a base for implementations. We do not want to close the specification until full implementations exist, but only minor refinements/simplifications are expected: - the documentation will be strengthend and some points clarified - some values on some of the properties may be added or taken out - the table model, which is the newest part of the specification, may see more changes. More specifically, the following minor changes are planned in the next version: - the 'from-canvas' values on 'width' and 'height' will be removed. To use canvas metrics for positioning background images, the already existing keyword 'fixed' should be used - the description of the gradient background will make it clear that only colors, not images, should be blended - some keywords will be added to the 'bg-position' property: left, center, right, top, bottom Also, we're revising some of the terms for describing addressing. E.g., does anyone have a better term than "pseudo-classes"?
