There were no problems with the existing proposal from you and my 
comments to it, except that we discussed them some weeks ago. For this 
reason it seemed to be more convenient to summarize these proposals once 
again and start an e-mail voting rather than voting about them 
immediately. This means that the the CSS3 based specification mentioned 
in the minutes is exactly your proposal.
