I'm very interrested by all CSS users need because i wanted to work (as developper of HTML_CSS package) on a new parser like standard W3C SAC API.

It seems there is always a W3C project relating to a topic ;-) Anyway, that does sound interesting. Still trying to grasp every concepts in it, though. A standard parser would help to read the style sheet, but there is still the "problem" of storing the information and doing something with it, like returning the proper style info for a given context. The reason I'm interested in the package is that I'm working on an HTML to PDF converter. The fact that it's PDF is not that important, because it could also be a HTML to image converter... Basically, an HTML renderer in PHP... Of course, re-using Mozilla's Gecko as a PHP extension would do a better job. Since CSS allows for precise positioning, it makes sense to use it in my case (PDF documents.) If I have time (yeah, right), I'll try to dig into the SAC business... -Philippe
