AWT- Current status of CSS & XSL

What is the current status of CSS and XSL?


# CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet. It is a style sheet language that makes the developer life easier by describing the look and formatting of a document written in a markup language.
The W3C (Cascading Style Sheet) working group has just released the newest version CSS 2.1, correcting the errors that pervious version holds and also adding some highly requested features from the users and from candidate recommendation on CSS. This version was holds the ability to create media specific stylesheets for various devices such as browsers, aural devices, printers, braille devices and handheld devices.
Though in present they have just released CSS 2.1 but there is already a working group developing a CSS 3.0 which essentially builds focusing the tough topic of Web Topography.
XSL stands for Extensible Stylesheet Language Family. It defines the XML document transformation and presentation. The latest version of XSL is version1.1. It is developed by updating all the W3C XSL Version 1.0. In this recent version of XSL, there are new functionality added to support change marks, indexes, multiple flows, and bookmarks. The existing functionality on the previous version has been extended in the areas of graphics scaling, 'markers' and their retrieval in tables. This latest version 1.1 has been developed that includes a subset of quite simple and friendly additions to XSL. http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2003-12-17-a.html
