	:: Any discussion of CSS really needs to refer to Haakon Lie's PhD thesis. This explains many of the design decisions behind CSS, particularly those that are seen by CSS newcomers as "limitations" in CSS. CSS was intended to be ''the'' styling language in widespread use, not just one of many. This influenced its design, particularly by encouraging simplicty in both its understanding and use, its implementation (M$ & IE's failure to read the CSS spec notwithstanding) and even the processing overhead needed to implement CSS on small-scale devices. In particular he's quite clear that DSSSL was looked at before designing CSS, considered as a possible basis for the web stylesheet language, and then rejected for over-complexity. Thank goodness for that. [[User:Andy Dingley\|Andy Dingley]] ([[User talk:Andy Dingley\|talk]]) 09:27, 24 April 2011 (UTC)		:: Any discussion of CSS really needs to refer to Haakon Lie's PhD thesis.
