I don't think it's appropriate to add settings for CSS features that are under development, for a number of reasons: * If we did this for every feature, we'd end up with hundreds of Settings. * Traditionally, Settings don't tend to get removed, resulting in an ever-accumulating number of Settings. * If your feature is protected by an ENABLE flag, vendors that want to ship release software can turn it off. * If developing your feature in trunk is so disruptive that you need a Setting to turn it off for most people, then perhaps you should be working on a branch up to the point where your feature is mostly usable.
