What are the plans for full CSS2 and maybe for IE-specific tags and Properties support?

Dirk Mueller: We have assembled a small table that shows which CSS2 visual properties we do support in principle. As our internal rendering model is fully compatible with the one outlined by the CSS2 specs (unlike for example IE and some other browsers), there are no principal problems in adding support for the missing properties, except that they all have a certain impact on performance and memory consumption. While we’re improving the internal architecture, support for those properties will be a lost easier to add than it is right now. We will add support for extensions where it is necessary for realworld-WWW compliance, as we did already in the past (i.e. those properties that influence the scrollbar colors or the autocomplete=off for the FORM tag among of a huge amount of JavaScript-related extensions). If those extensions are incompatible with the relevant specs (DOM1-3, HTML4, CSS2), they are however only available in the non-strict parsing mode that is chosen when we detect that
