Probably, but we're not here to enumerate the benefits and flaws
of the W3C. For that matter, if you want to complain about what CSS
can or can't do, a much better venue is [EMAIL-REMOVED], since it is
frequented by W3C members and browser rendering engine implementors
who can consider your ideas and tell you whether or not they are
likely to appear in the future (and if not, why not). You might want
to search the list archives first, though, since some of the things
you mentioned have already been discussed there-- actually, all of
them I think. Many of them in excessive detail.
Also remember that one person's feature is another person's bug.
And vice versa. In the interim, let's not argue over the nature of
pixels, what constitutes intuitive layout behavior, or the way floats
should or shouldn't act. Discussing how they DO act would be more in
line with the list's mission. Thanks.
