CSS Enhancements
From html4all
The HTML Document Stack
| Layer | Description | HTML4All Initiatives |
| Presentation | Presentation is left to CSS as the reference presentational layer as much as possible. In other words the default presentation of HTML documents is almost entirely expressible by CSS (HTML4All will separately propose enhancements to provide all default HTML presentational needs through CSS). | CSS Enhancements |
| HTML Infoset | Defines the set of object graphs representable by the HTML vocabulary along with: the document object model interfaces that allow the dynamic mutation of an object graph; and the the events fired when processing an HTML document by an interactive UA. This draft also includes: HTML Data Types, HTML QNameTypes, and HTML QName Vocabulary, HTML Events | HTML DOM and Namespace enhancements |
| Parsing / Serializing | Algorithms which define how to encode an HTML Object Graph into a specific serialization and decode a serialization into an HTML Object Graph | tHTML parsing (this draft) |
| Serialization | cHTML (Canonical HTML), XML, EXI, HTML 4.01 | cHTML |
