- fixermark 12y agoThat would be excessive. But reserving some space in CSS for the memory of the daughter of someone who had a significant impact on the CSS standard is probably fine. We don't have monuments to every dead world leader in Washington, D.C., but we somehow find room to make a few for United States presidents.

His articles about his daughter's illness and death were extremely well written and stuck a chord with thousands of readers.
