What makes CSS so special?

["Eyüphan Celebi"]

Hello,

I know the times where the internet was without
CSS but I also remember that these sites did look
a but ugly compared to sites of today.
Now, CSS is something almost every webdesigner is
talking about. But I am asking myself what is so
special about it and moreover who is inventing it?

Thanks and regards

You can find information about the development of CSS within W3C at
http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/

You may find useful the background information about CSS development in this
book:

Cascading Style Sheets, designing for the Web, by Håkon Wium Lie and Bert
Bos (3rd ed., 2005, Addison Wesley, ISBN 0-321-19312-1)

We've really no idea - maybe you should ask the people
who were involved with CSS? :-)

XSL des use CSS properties where possible, and we
like to think XSL is special too!  Thank you for
writing.

To be honest I heard about XSL first
time here in this forum. What exactly is
XSL and what can it do or do better?
