Sorry about not sending this directly to the list. I keep tripping over the fact that by default it only sends the reply directly to the sender. Somebody please fix this.

I'm afraid this is like tabs vs. spaces -- there will always be arguments over it but nothing will ever change :-).

The Less library that Dan pointed out looks particularly interesting. I like that you can dynamically change the style sheet. One of the things that I currently find bothersome is that you can't map arbitrary states to pseudo selectors. Currently you have a pseudo selector like ":hover", but it would be nice if the developer could map any state or combination of states to a style.

The reason we didn't allow for arbitrary pseudo classes was because the implementation was slower and the heuristics a harder to implement (which is also why we don't support selectors based on arbitrary property values). But in 8 the plan was to expose API so any subclass of Node could define its own set of supported pseudo classes.
