2) after i added the same amount of margin to each side of an element

margin-left: 20px;}
instead of ....
   {margin: 20px}
....so until they get that sort of thing sorted it seems to have some
pretty basic but fundamental shortcomings in constructing css.

I'd hazard a guess that this sort of thing could be done with a optimisation function (or a preference along the lines of "use shorthand CSS whenever possible").

Under Tools | Page Editor Options | Code Formatting there is a checkbox for
"use shorthand properties when generating style" but it doesn't appear to work consistently - yet - that's a beta for you :-)
