<h2 class="no-num no-toc" id=abstract>Abstract</h2>
<p>This document collects together into one definition all the specs that
together form the current state of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) as of
2010. The primary audience is CSS implementors, not CSS authors, as this
definition includes modules by specification stability, not Web browser
adoption rate.
<h2 class="no-num no-toc" id=status>Status of this document</h2>

<p>This document was produced by the <a href="/Style/CSS/members">CSS
Working Group</a> (part of the <a href="/Style/">Style Activity</a>).
<p>This document was produced by a group operating under the <a
href="/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20040205/">5 February 2004 W3C Patent
Policy</a>. W3C maintains a <a href="/2004/01/pp-impl/32061/status"
rel=disclosure>public list of any patent disclosures</a> made in
connection with the deliverables of the group; that page also includes
instructions for disclosing a patent. An individual who has actual
knowledge of a patent which the individual believes contains <a
href="/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20040205/#def-essential">Essential
Claim(s)</a> must disclose the information in accordance with <a
href="/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20040205/#sec-Disclosure">section 6 of the
W3C Patent Policy</a>.</p>

<h2 id=intro><span class=secno>1. </span>Introduction</h2>
<p>When the first CSS specification was published, all of CSS was contained
in one document that defined CSS Level 1. CSS Level 2 was defined also by
a single, multi-chapter document. However for CSS beyond Level 2, the CSS
Working Group chose to adopt a modular approach, where each module defines
a part of CSS, rather than to define a single monolithic specification.
This breaks the specification into more manageable chunks and allows more
immediate, incremental improvement to CSS.
<p>Since different CSS modules are at different levels of stability, the
CSS Working Group has chosen to publish this profile to define the current
scope and state of Cascading Style Sheets as of late 2010. This profile
includes only specifications that we consider stable <em>and</em> for
which we have enough implementation experience that we are sure of that
stability.
<p>Note that this is not intended to be a CSS Desktop Browser Profile:
inclusion in this profile is based on feature stability only and not on
expected use or Web browser adoption. This profile defines CSS in its most
complete form.
<p>Note also that although we don't anticipate significant changes to the
specifications that form this snapshot, their inclusion does are not mean
they are frozen. The Working Group will continue to address problems as
they are found in these specs. Implementers should monitor <a
href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/">www-style</a> and/or
the <a href="http://www.w3.org/blog/CSS">CSS Working Group Blog</a> for
any resulting changes, corrections, or clarifications.
<h3 id=w3c-process><span class=secno>1.1. </span>The W3C Process and CSS</h3>
<p><em>This section is non-normative.</em>
<p>In the <a href="http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/">W3C
Process</a>, a Recommendation-track document passes through five levels of
stability, summarized below:
<dl style="list-style-type: decimal">
<dt>Working Draft (WD)
<dd>Published during the process of drafting the specification, the
purpose of a public Working Draft is to create a snapshot of the
specification's current state and to solicit input from the W3C and the
public. The document is known to be unstable, and is often incomplete.
<dt>Last Call Working Draft (LC or LCWD)
<dd>By publishing a Last Call Working Draft, a working group is expressing
that they consider the spec to be complete and all issues to be resolved.
Publishing a Last Call Working Draft announces that this specification
will move toward Candidate Recommendation unless significant issues are
brought up. The Last Call period is a last chance for others to submit
issues before the transition to CR.
<dt>Candidate Recommendation (CR)
<dd>By publishing a Candidate Recommendation, a working group is
expressing that have resolved all known issues and they believe the spec
is ready for implementation.
<dt>Proposed Recommendation (PR)
<dd>To exit CR and enter this stage, the spec needs a comprehensive test
suite and implementation reports proving that every feature in the spec
is interoperably implemented in at least two shipping implementations.
Entering the Proposed Recommendation stage signals to the W3C that these
requirements have been met. Once the W3C officially approves the
specification, it becomes a Recommendation.
<dt>Recommendation (REC)
<dd>This is the final stage. At this point there should need to be no more
changes.
</dl>
<p>In the CSSWG's experience, the recommendation track is not linear. The
wider review triggered by an LCWD often results in at least another
working draft, possibly several. More significantly, our experience is
that many specs enter CR twice, because implementation testing often
uncovers significant problems in the spec and thus pushes it back to
working draft. Additionally, fixing even minor problems forces a CR to
re-enter the Working Draft stage. As a result, although the CSSWG has a
clear idea of the stability of the CSS specs, it is very difficult for
someone outside the working group to come to that same understanding based
on a specification's official status. The CSS Working Group's motivation
for creating this document is thus to communicate to others our
understanding of the state of CSS.
<h2 id=css-levels><span class=secno>2. </span>CSS Levels</h2>
<p>Cascading Style Sheets does not have versions in the traditional sense;
instead it has <dfn id=levels>levels</dfn>. Each level of CSS builds on
the previous, refining definitions and adding features. The feature set of
each higher level is a superset of any lower level, and the behavior
allowed for a given feature in a higher level is a subset of that allowed
in the lower levels. A user agent conforming to a higher level of CSS is
thus also conformant to all lower levels.
<h3 id=css1><span class=secno>2.1. </span>CSS Level 1</h3>
<p>The CSS Working Group considers the <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-CSS1-20080411/">CSS1 specification</a>
to be obsolete. <dfn id=css-level-1>CSS Level 1</dfn> is defined as all
the features defined in the CSS1 specification (properties, values,
at-rules, etc), but using the syntax and definitions in the <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/">CSS2.1 specification</a>. <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css-style-attr/">CSS Style Attributes</a>
defines its inclusion in element-specific style attributes.
<h3 id=css2><span class=secno>2.2. </span>CSS Level 2</h3>
<p>Although the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-CSS2-20080411/">CSS2
specification</a> is technically a W3C Recommendation, it passed into the
Recommendation stage before the W3C had defined the Candidate
Recommendation stage. Over time implementation experience and further
review has brought to light many problems in the CSS2 specification, so
instead of expanding an already <a
href="http://www.w3.org/Style/css2-updates/REC-CSS2-19980512-errata.html">unwieldy
errata list</a>, the CSS Working Group chose to define <cite>CSS Level 2
Revision 1</cite> (CSS2.1). In case of any conflict between the two specs
CSS2.1 contains the definitive definition.
<p>Once CSS2.1 became Candidate Recommendation—effectively though not
officially the same level of stability as CSS2—obsoleted the CSS2
Recommendation. Features in CSS2 that were dropped from CSS2.1 should be
considered to be at the Candidate Recommendation stage, but note that many
of these have been or will be pulled into a CSS Level 3 working draft, in
which case that specification will, once it reaches CR, obsolete the
definitions in CSS2.
<p>The <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/">CSS2.1 specification</a>
defines <dfn id=css-level-2>CSS Level 2</dfn> and the <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css-style-attr/">CSS Style Attributes
specification</a> defines its inclusion in element-specific style
attributes.
<h3 id=css3><span class=secno>2.3. </span>CSS Level 3</h3>
<p><em>This section is non-normative.</em>
<p>CSS Level 3 builds on CSS Level 2 module by module, using the CSS2.1
specification as its core. Each module adds functionality and/or replaces
part of the CSS2.1 specification. The CSS Working Group intends that the
new CSS modules will not contradict the CSS2.1 specification: only that
they will add functionality and refine definitions. As each module is
completed, it will be plugged in to the existing system of CSS2.1 plus
previously-completed modules.
<p>From this level on modules are levelled independently: for example
Selectors Level 4 may well be defined before CSS Line Module Level 3.
<h2 id=css><span class=secno>3. </span>Cascading Style Sheets Definition</h2>
<p>As of 2010, <dfn id=cascading-style-sheets-css>Cascading Style Sheets
(CSS)</dfn> is defined by the following specifications.
<ol>
<li><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/">CSS Level 2 Revision 1</a>
(including errata)
<li><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css-style-attr/">CSS Style
Attributes</a>
<li><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-mediaqueries/">Media Queries Level
3</a>
<li><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-namespace/">CSS Namespaces</a>
<li><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/">Selectors Level 3</a>
<li><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-color/">CSS Color Level 3</a>
</ol>
<h3 id=partial><span class=secno>3.1. </span>Partial Implementations</h3>
<p>So that authors can exploit the forward-compatible parsing rules to
assign fallback values, CSS renderers <strong>must</strong> treat as
invalid (and <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/conform.html#ignore">ignore as
appropriate</a>) any at-rules, properties, property values, keywords, and
other syntactic constructs for which they have no usable level of support.
In particular, user agents <strong>must not</strong> selectively ignore
unsupported property values and honor supported values in a single
multi-value property declaration: if any value is considered invalid (as
unsupported values must be), CSS requires that the entire declaration be
ignored.
<h3 id=profiles><span class=secno>3.2. </span>CSS Profiles</h3>
<p>Not all implementations will implement all functionality defined in CSS.
For example, an implementation may choose to implement only the
functionality required by a CSS Profile. Profiles define a subset of CSS
considered fundamental for a specific class of CSS implementations. The
W3C CSS Working Group defines the following CSS profiles:
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css-mobile/">CSS Mobile Profile 2.0</a>
<li><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css-print/">CSS Print Profile 1.0</a>
<li><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css-tv">CSS TV Profile 1.0</a>
</ul>
<h3 id=experimental><span class=secno>3.3. </span>Experimental
Implementations</h3>
<p>To avoid clashes with future CSS features, the CSS2.1 specification
reserves a <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#vendor-keywords">prefixed
syntax</a> for proprietary and experimental extensions to CSS.
<p>Prior to a specification reaching the Candidate Recommendation stage in
the W3C process, all implementations of a CSS feature are considered
experimental. The CSS Working Group recommends that implementations use a
vendor-prefixed syntax for such features, including those in W3C Working
Drafts. This avoids incompatibilities with future changes in the draft.
<p class=note>For legacy reasons, certain experimental CSS properties do
not follow this prefixing convention. Two common examples are the
‘<code class=property>word-wrap</code>’ and ‘<code
class=property>text-overflow</code>’ properties, which were
introduced unprefixed by Microsoft Internet Explorer prior to the
introduction of the vendor prefixing policy in CSS2.1 and were
subsequently implemented unprefixed by other browsers, creating a
dependency on the unprefixed names despite the lack of a W3C spec. Any
other legacy exceptions should be made in consultation with the CSS
Working Group.
<h3 id=testing><span class=secno>3.4. </span>Non-Experimental
Implementations</h3>
<p>Once a specification reaches the Candidate Recommendation stage,
non-experimental implementations are possible, and implementors should
release an unprefixed implementation of any CR-level feature they can
demonstrate to be correctly implemented according to spec.
<p>To establish and maintain the interoperability of CSS across
implementations, the CSS Working Group requests that non-experimental CSS
renderers submit an implementation report (and, if necessary, the
testcases used for that implementation report) to the W3C before releasing
an unprefixed implementation of any CSS features. Testcases submitted to
W3C are subject to review and correction by the CSS Working Group.
<p>Further information on submitting testcases and implementation reports
can be found from on the CSS Working Group's website at <a
href="http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/">http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/</a>.
Questions should be directed to the <a
href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-css-testsuite">public-css-testsuite@w3.org</a>
mailing list.
<p>CSS2.1 implementations are encouraged, but not required, to submit an
implementation report.
