Description
We previously resolved to call the next version of CSS2 "CSS 2.2".
From more recent discussions with several people in the group, it seems like there's still a sizeable number who are in favour of "CSS 2.1 2nd Edition" (or similar). The two main reasons for this:
- The number of references around the place to CSS 2.1 is vast; calling it a new edition of 2.1 should help keep people looking at the right document.
- We're not actually planning on making massively substantive changes to the spec, despite it being a new era of maintenance.
