Is any work planned/considered for CSS3 modules?

It'd be great if there was a page in the style of http://www.css3.info/modules/
to refer to, with plans, ideas and priorities.

I don't really mind at the moment, but probably will in a few years;
I'm becoming so used to using new web features that I was surprised
when I found Flying Saucer didn't support it (apart from pagination).

Don't get me wrong; I'm not complaning here - I'm just glad I found/
remembered this limitation as I was starting a new web application
with "printable" screens. It would have been a huge shock later down
the track.

Anyhow, just wondering

Thanks

Stephen

Flying Saucer is pretty much just resting currently. Of the original
developer team, Patrick and I still answer questions and occasionally
commit the odd patch, but there isn't any new work going on at the
moment.

In short, when this has come up before, my standard answer is simply
that FS is what it is. And what it is a reasonably fast, almost
entirely complete static implementation of CSS 2.1. I think it's
fairly likely that's what it will remain.

(That said, there are certainly parts of CSS 3 [for example,
selectors] that would be pretty easy to implement and pretty useful so
it's not like there aren't things that *could* be done, but we don't
have the resources currently.)
