While my mind was wandering today I somehow got stuck thinking about CSS3, I am not sure why I bother since I heard Eric Meyer tell An Event Apart Seattle that it isn’t exactly around the corner, but as often happens my curiosity got the best of me. When I should have been going to bed I ended up on the W3C site looking through draft CSS3 specifications. CSS3 apparently won’t be one specification, but is currently made up of many modules, all being worked on by different people. The one which really caught my interest was the CSS Advanced Layout Module.
