....so until they get that sort of thing sorted it seems to have some
pretty basic but fundamental shortcomings in constructing css.
I'd hazard a guess that this sort of thing could be done with a
optimisation function (or a preference along the lines of "use shorthand
CSS whenever possible"). It follows the common pattern that WYSIWYG
generated code is usually more bloated (albeit correct) than
hand-crafted stuff. Nonetheless, as long as it's still reasonable even
when not optimised it's still a huge step in the right direction if a
WYSIWYG tool at least spits out halfway decent and valid HTML/CSS.
