CSS2 builds on CSS1, integrating several intermediate CSS syntax proposals (Aural CSS, printing and positioning extensions) aiming for full backward compatibility, which it comes close to achieving. CSS2 still somehow manages to introduce radical new rendering capabilities as well. As use of web documents becomes ubiquitous, alternate rendering paradigms have proliferated (and are expected to increase in usage.) CSS2 allows the author to tailor their pages to these different rendering modes (such as Braille, handheld devices, printers, and aural devices.) CSS is also not limited to just HTML any more. CSS2, for instance, can be controlled by Javascript or even be used in XML documents to allow for powerful rendering capabilities. |
