I didn't dig into it TOO much, but even the basic box model that lets you display stuff using CSS2 as if it is a table is too broken for realistic everyday use in the real world. That may well be because too many people have somewhat older versions of browsers etc, but that seems to be the case. Perhaps with the latest and greatest mozilla releases you can get this stuff to work on your own system. I'm not coming down on the idea either, I can't wait for it to be useable, it will be amazing, but don't count on deploying anything for more than highly experimental use.
