Mike, Well, now this is getting off-topic. :-) Discussing how one organizes one's CSS files is one thing, but proposing a standard is something else -- it won't get us anywhere or help anyone produce better CSS right now. I would say that that would be appropriate on a blog or an entire site devoted to such a cause, where the issues involved with it could be discussed fully by those interested in such a thing. Let me know if you ever start this movement, so I can get involved by lobbying hard against it. :-) No offense, but I find the myriad of ways that something can be done with CSS a strength, not a weakness to be squashed by imposing more standards. I do not want to break my style sheet into multiple sheets or apply comment headers that don't match my preferred wording or organize my properties alphabetically. And there's nothing wrong with people who do do this. But as I said, this is off-topic now. Anyone who wants to debate me on this can do so off-list, though I warn you you won't find much of a debate from me -- I'll probably just say "Good for you, you keep doing it your way, and I'll do it my way." :-) Zoe -- Zoe M.
