Hi! If you've seen my talk about pgmapcss on SOTM-EU last week[1], you know that I have a dream: to use the same map style on a variety of devices and platforms, like Web (background tiles), Web (interactive overlays), Mobile / Smartphone, Desktop applications, Editor, Print, ...
In my opinion MapCSS could eventually be this language, but still there's a long way to go. First of all, the MapCSS standard still misses some important features. Additionally the specific implementations differ greatly. On the MapCSS/0.2 page[2] in the Wiki there is already a table of which properties (like 'width' and 'color') are supported by which library. Now, I also added tables for the support of specific language features (e.g. regexp conditions, whether tags can be set, @import, rendering order, ...). I also re-structured the eval()-syntax page[3] and added support tables for support of eval()-functions and -operators. I already added support tables for pgmapcss (which I develop myself) and JOSM (which I regularily use). If you are developer of a mapcss library, please take the time to add your library to those support tables. To avoid confusion, it might be advisable to keep the same order in the tables from the properties tables.
