Yes, but I was actually trying to point out the opposite problem. CSS
may be a "standard", but a Pivot skin's style properties (by design) are
not. So you would have to stay on top of any changes that the skin
developers decide to make. In fairness, a style such as "font" isn't
likely to change all that often - I'm just pointing out a potential
weakness in the design.
I don't think this limitation of coupling to skins is specific to CSS.
The CSS parser I've written assumes that when you specify some
font-related properties, you're changing the "font" style of a component.
Isn't that what "{ font: {bold: true} }" does? It assumes you're changing
the "font" style?
