My journey: See this well trafficked "CSS sucks"-type article, Ctrl-F the comments for John Nagle, be tantalized at the hints of how it could be so much better: http://www.raizlabs.com/blog/2006/09/25/ten-reasons-why-css-sucks/ http://www.raizlabs.com/blog/2006/09/25/ten-reasons-why-css-... Look up "constraint-based layout" and more specifically "constraint cascading style sheets". You'll find papers such as this one: http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.101.4819 http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.101.4... and this one: http://csis.pace.edu/~marchese/CS835/Lec7/mmJournal.pdf http://csis.pace.edu/~marchese/CS835/Lec7/mmJournal.pdf thoroughly describing such a system. Find "GSS - Grid Style Sheets" at http://gridstylesheets.org/ http://gridstylesheets.org/ , "an implementation of Badros & Borning's Constraint Cascading Style Sheets". This is still half on my todo list, but it seems like the real thing. The catch? Relies on Javascript. Dream of a world in which this kind of system was built into browsers as the primary way of doing layout <insert Simpsons happy dancing people gif here>.
