Eric A. MeyerI saw yet another “CSS is a massively bloated mess” whine and I’m like. My dude. My brother in Chromium. It is trying as hard as it can to express the totality of visual presentation and layout design and typography and animation and digital interactivity and a few other things in a human-readable text format. It’s not bloated, it’s fantastically ambitious. Its reach is greater than most of us can hope to grasp. Put some *respect* on its *name*.
d@nny disc@ mc²@Meyerweb too bad the w3c is a google production which makes it impossible for users to provide any input on the format. is there a reason it needs to be human-readable without any form of intermediate representation? is there a reason it must support the entire universe of interactivity along with layout? part of the reason browsers are sites of monopolistic coercion is the lack of ability to break down these burgeoning standards into component parts. there's no alternative to CSS because it has swallowed up the alternatives.

Can you expand or give examples of an intermediate representation? Not sure what you mean.
