CSS Working Group

  1. Are we getting the right balance between the day-to-day browser implementers needs and what's needed?
  2. What's happening with the Fall 2012 Priorities?
  3. Will CSS prevent HTML 5.0 from moving to Recommendation by 2014? (and if yes, how do we prevent that?)
  4. What is the Working Group expectation for its next Charter?
