"Tripoli": CSS done right, from scratch

Wie wäre es denn, wenn man nochmal ganz von vorne beginnen könnte? Allen Browser-Ballast über Bord werfen, und CSS so verwenden, wie es geplant war. Und dann Layout und Typo getrennt definieren und vernünftig mit Semantik füllen. "Tripoli" verspricht das. Screen2.0 stellt das interessante Open Source Projekt des Schweden David Hellsing vor.

What is Tripoli?
Tripoli is a generic CSS standard for HTML rendering. By resetting and rebuilding browser standards, Tripoli forms a stable, cross-browser rendering foundation for your web projects.

What are the ideas behind Tripoli?

• to form a generic standard for rendering HTML 4 tags
• to reset and rebuild all browser defaults for maximum compability
• to address deprecated tags in HTML 4 and disable them through CSS
• to separate content typography from layout measurements, allowing simple implementation in dynamic design environments
• to increase readability and web typography
• to assist clients who have little knowledge about CSS to write HTML that actually looks great
• to increase form useability and visual appearance of form controls
• to make the HTML look great in several medias, including screens, mobile browsers and prints
• to embrace W3C's guidelines and well know typographic rules
• to allow external plugs that can extend generic defaults into more advanced themes
