Re: [WSG] Trimming the fat from CSS

[Nick Lo]

Yeah pretty well what I was thinking I mean in practice CSS files are 
often shared and the very process of using CSS based layouts v's tables 
already trims a huge load off the page size anyway. It just seemed 
almost scarily ...thorough... to be trimming the stylesheet in this way 
as well.

Though as I said if you have an auto trimmer/de-trimmer then fair 
enough.

Any web server worth it's salt will gzip compress static files, which 
makes
trimming all the whitespace a bit pointless. Ditto with any crazy-assed
class naming scheme you come up with to make things smaller.

I learnt most of what I know about HTML, CSS & JS from viewing the 
source of
pages that had something I thought was cool, so I think it's kinda 
nice to
make my stuff as readable as possible for anyone doing the same these 
days.
Also helps when I come back to make changes 6 months later & wonder WTF
things do :)
