Hi

I notice that Firefox is more CSS compliant that IE8.

What is the governing body that decides the direction of the CSS and other
languages our browsers use..

Thank you..

Unfortunately, much attention is focused on implementing CSS3 before all
of CSS2.1 has been implemented.

Go to Mozdev at <http://www.mozdev.org/> for quick access to
extensions for Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, and other
Mozilla-related applications. You can access Mozdev much
more quickly than you can Mozilla Add-Ons.

This is as it should be.

There are pieces of CSS 2.1 (e.g., display: run-in) that authors
don't care about but are a lot of work, whereas there are things in
css3 that authors are much more interested in. See also
