> As for the length of time it's taken to release Grid, it looks like W3C has at least been aware of the problem for quite some time- the first "Advanced Layout" Working Draft was published in 2005, but it looks like it didn't stabilize into the current Grid layout until about 2015.
The current Grid layout is largely the same as that proposed by MS at the August 2010 F2F in Oslo.
Note that many of the early/mid-2000s specs essentially got paused while CSS 2.1 was finished (because it's hard to define new things clearly until you define the existing things clearly), and while waiting for more implementer interest.
