Happy Birthday, CSS Level 2

Posted
May 12 2004

Exactly six years ago today, CSS Level 2 became a W3C Recommendation.

Six years, and still not properly supported by anything, anywhere (though we're getting closer) — makes me a bit pessimistic about the CSS3 Basic User Interface Module that was published as a Candidate Recommendation today [via Tantek].

Alexander, note that due to numerous flaws and contradictions in the specification, CSS2 is impossible to properly support, so don't expect it to ever be properly supported, and certainly don't hold that against other CSS specifications. As I said at SXSW2004, don't bother with CSS2 any more (for the above and other reasons). Instead, pay attention to CSS2.1, which is also a Candidate Recommendation.

True, dat. :)
