summary
Proposes CSS in 1994 at CERN to stop HTML becoming pictures and faxes, with concrete features like text-shadow and border-radius implemented and practical demos of web fonts and layout. Notes Opera ships stronger CSS support, IE8 finally passes the Acid test, and Wikimedia deploys web fonts to 40 wikis in 11 indic languages (Dec 12 2011).
