Thanks for the feedback, I’m sorry for the typo’s and mis-statements.

I fixed your name, your statement about the box model, though I don’t remember what your comment exactly was about the multi-column layout was so I told them to come down here to get some resolution.

I still feel CSS is broken, that I have to spend a week trying to fix a floating footer at the bottom of the page and never get it right means it doesn’t do what I want. I got the impression by you saying we don’t understand CSS is that we need to temper our expectations and design to CSS, which just doesn’t seem kosher.

I look forward to the next Q an A with your participation.

Can I request a few minor corrections? My last name is misspelled in your intro and Ben misspoke when he said “A Site Apart,” it’s A List Apart.

As a little clarification, I didn’t *quite* say that browsers allow you to change the box model. All browsers (including IE6 and higher) have the “DOCTYPE Switch” which allows you to switch between the W3C Box Model and the IE5 Box Model, but there has been some talk about CSS3 including the ability to choose the box model you want to use on an ad-hoc basis.

Also, I did not say that the CSS Multi-Column Layout module “needs fixing,” but it is the first spec the CSS Eleven (of which I am a member) will be looking at. We will be looking for ambiguities and potential oversights in the spec, but more importantly, we will be creating actual demonstrations of it in use and what we would expect that use to translate to in a browser. Consider them to be implementation directions for the browser vendors.

Thanks again for the recap!
