Ajaxian.com has posted and article regarding frustrations with CSS and the slow rate of adoption by browser vendors. Some comments question the W3C’s effectiveness and the future of the Open Web.

have all been frustrated with CSS over the years. The implementation has been spotty across the browsers, and it has all but died off. IE 7 stepped up and fixed a lot, even if some weren’t happy with how far they got. CSS 3 has been out there for quite some time, but apart from Opera, other browsers have selectively implemented their pet features. Some have done interesting non-standard work too: -mypetfeature-foo-bar.

It sounds like CSS 3 as The Big Unit is basically dead, and small modules are the way forward. We should see good support for CSS 3 selectors, media queries, and who knows what else. Hopefully that new layout manager!
