Well, I disagree that such a thing would be such a huge boon (a
miniscule gain at the expense of greatly complicating CSS, making it all
the more difficult for newbies to learn and convert to), but let's not
discuss what CSS ought to and ought not include on this list. That's
theory, and as I mentioned in the email I just sent, it belongs on (and
it regularly discussed on) www-style. I've already provided a practical
solution to the problem, and that's all that's appropriate here.
Thanks,
Zoe
