I've heard a lot of rumor of a newer version of CSS on the horizon with a
lot of really neat new features, but can't find any information on it to
save my life.
Anyone got any idea when/who/where/anything else relevant?
Short answer: nothing soon.
Recent W3C CSS work has been on CSS 2.1, which will be published in the
next few weeks. This is an update to 2.0 which serves to tighten up the
spec, removing many ambiguities. It clarifies rather than introduces
new function. It is a version where the technical gurus behind each of
the major browsers have been deeply involved in getting the spec right.
After it's published, I imagine a period of several months as newer
versions of browsers come into conformance with the spec.
Only after 2.1 publishes will work resume on CSS 3. Version 3 is
modular and none of the modules are yet well defined for publishing let
alone implementation. My personal estimate is 18-24 months before
seeing any notable CSS 3 implementations.
