50 New Useful CSS Techniques, Tools and Tutorials

I see all these efforts for CSS3 and HTML5 and I can't help but think that we are going in the wrong direction. We shouldn't be making HTML/CSS/JS more complex, we should be making browsers lower-level while still preserving the isolation and delivery attributes of current web development.
