Does anyone know if a future CSS spec will encompass these types of abstractions?

  I hope not. If it did, the "abstractions" would ossify and we'd have to live with their quirks and bugs for the next 10 years. I'd rather the standards people work on defining a useful, reliable, flexible lowest-common-denominator syntax, and the framework people work on making sure we never have to use it directly.

    As one of those framework people I can tell you that CSS as it stands is not up to that job yet. Some very basic features are needed on the CSS side, but I'm going to reserve my thoughts on that for a future blog post when I've thought about more thoroughly.
