Yes Peter, you're right. I'll change this.

The current push in web standards seems to go in the direction of making it so convoluted that you'd have to be a pretty big organization dedicated exclusively to implementing that stuff to be on top of it. There are already more C++ experts than CSS experts, I think, and it's getting only worse.

Ok, it's nice to see some support for @page rule. Margin is not listed in the IDPF specs: http://idpf.org/2007/ops/OPS_2.0_fin...tml#Section3.3
Guess you decided to include some CSS3 properties after all ?
I agree that the status of the different web standards can be very complicated, but I really believe that support for at least some CSS3 modules would be very helpful. The generated content for paged media module is a very good example: it's very easy to add support for footnotes using this module, while currently, real footnotes are almost impossible to support in ePub.
Do you have a ressource listing all the CSS elements supported by DE ?
