Ugh, the syntax for CSS is just so crappy.

I know like 10-15 different languages, and CSS is by far the hardest to read and understand. It's easier to understand x86 assembly than CSS. CSS is basically pre-tokenized input that drives a renderer, but they sort of went halfway and didn't really make it real tokens or really human-writable.

I'd say that it should take the place of ASN.1 in the RFCs as an example of "what not to do."

I feel the same way. I find it the worst part of the HTML / CSS / JS trio.
