Cascading Style Sheets (CSS1) allow more precise and consistent layout than previous HTML attributes such as <FONT>

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1

Style sheets permit pages to inherit properties from other pages--in effect, they permit object-oriented document structure

CSS2 was released in May 98, and includes support for media-specific style sheets (e.g. printers and aural devices), downloadable fonts, element positioning and tables.

Aural rendering of web documents is needed for example with sight-impaired users, in-car applications, and language instruction

Cascading Style Sheets Positioning (CSSP) is early "positioning proposal" which can be added to CSS1 before CSS2 implemented
