@generalk You're right, I sure wish there was a better way. Do you have one?
Also, you could decide to not use this particular aspect of the syntax if it offends you, could you not? Those of us who have to support ie6 for the next three years, do not have that luxury.
For the record, I probably will have to support IE6 for the next few years, so I don't have any luxuries here either.
If we're just proposing new ideas, suppose we create a new tag to link CSS3 documents to HTML documents? <stylesheet>, perhaps. Newer browsers know what to do with it, while older browsers ignore it. This is just off the top of my head, of course, I haven't thoroughly studied this problem.
I don't mean any personal offense, I just don't like the idea of putting code in comments.
