I recently acquired a copy of /Transcending CSS: The Fine Art of Web
Design/ by Andy Clarke (New Riders, 2007: ISBN 0-321-41097-1).

Mr Clarke is pushing CSS3 in this book, though he notes that (at the
time the book was written) support for CSS3 was spotty at best even for
the Mac (his preferred platform).  He also advocates NOT trying to make
the presentation of a website look the same in all browsers, but to
write to the limit of the CSS capabilities of each individual browser,
and use things like conditional includes, media rules, and @import to
control what CSS gets seen/used by which browser(s).

Question the first: Is this a widely-accepted philosophy in the
web-design community, and is it being widely adopted - and should it be?

Question the second: What is the current level of support for CSS3?
There are some interesting ideas in CSS3, which I would like to be able
to use - but I'd like to know that the support is there and relatively
stable before attempting to use it.
