Who Decides?

By Amy Blankenship
May 3, 2009

In my last blog post, I discussed a CSS trick I recently discovered. That post spawned a lot of comments, and at one point in the discussion I stated that I felt that just because a technique is popular and has been put forward by one or more resources as best practice, that it doesn't necessarily make that technique better practice than a new practice I (or any developer really) might come up with. The question was asked, "where do best practices come from?" ...I think any developer, consumer, or citizen has the right to put in the research time to study what current practices are and the reasons for them and put forward alternatives that can be considered for adoption as best practices.

Excellent result for @charset detection of CSS in WWW browsers

By Rick Jelliffe
September 16, 2008

So, from these test results, it looks pretty good for adopting the same policy for determining the encoding for CSS files as you use for XML: if there is a BOM then use that (i.e. your document is in UTF-16 of some kind); otherwise use explicit labeling with an initial @charset.That works with all the current generation, which is really great.

By Bryan Rasmussen
June 26, 2008

There are various reasons why you might want a CSS version of XML, for me it was because I was programming for Cross-media generation and I wanted a way to reuse definitions easily in one format with other formats, so I wanted an XML format that I could reuse. This made it easier to control that presentations of the data in XHTML, PDF, Ebook, or Microsoft Help or Word files all had the same styling where relevant, or to do calculations from a base style that altered specific to the media.
