Cascading Style Sheets 2.1
The W3C has released a new interim version of Cascading Style Sheets 2, which they call Cascading Style Sheets, level 2 revision 1 (or CSS 2.1). This new version, while itself is forward compatible, breaks compatibility with version 2.0. W3C states the following in the document:
While many of these issues will be addressed by the upcoming CSS 3 specifications, the current state of affairs hinders the implementation and interoperability of CSS 2. The CSS 2.1 specification attempts to address this situation by:
- …
- Removing all CSS 2 features which, by virtue of not having been implemented, have been rejected by the CSS community.
- …
Some web developers believe this may be helpful, I, myself, think that this is a sign that the W3C is giving in to those who create the browsers - their standards mean little anymore, they will bend in the wind. But, for now we must learn the new standards and we will wait and see what happens when CSS 3.0 is finalized and begins to be used.
