Hi,
I would like to suggest a few things to add to the CSS specifications. I don't
know the cost of implementation, but I am just giving you a few ideas that I
had.
Foreground Property: like the background property, but layered above not below
the object. I really think this property would be helpful for development, and
also, it would really streamline the HTML.
Adding to that: opacity properties for the background and foreground. Could be
seen as background-opacity.
Interior Styles: the capability to assign a style to an object from a different
object's stylesheet. The use of this may not be apparent up-front, but it
would be very helpful especially with events like :hover. For Example:
.someThing:hover {
border-white;
background: blue;
.someThing .someChild {background: black;};
}
This brings me to two more suggestions: References and Routines. Routines
would be allowed for all elements to use. They are similar to functions in
other languages. They could be expressed as ~referenceName {some-attribute:
value;}. References would be inside style declarations, and could be seen as
.someThing ~referenceName. They would evoke the specified Routine on the
specified object.
Cheers,
