[WSG] CSS2.1 now an official recommendation

2011-06-17 Thread Grant Bailey

Hello,

I can barely believe that CSS2.1 has only just become an official 
recommendation (see 
http://www.css3.info/css2-1-and-the-css3-color-module-become-official-w3c-recommendations/).


Could anyone explain why this took so long? Many of us are already using 
CSS3!


Seems to me that speeding the process of approval along (just a little) 
might encourage browser vendors to comply with web standards ...


Insights would be appreciated.

Kind regards,

Grant Bailey

This all has to do with the large corporates on the W3C working groups.
Microsoft as well as IBM and others all have representation.

Does your amplifier go up to 11?
