During the same five-year period, the number of objects in the average web page nearly doubled from 25.7 to 49.9 objects per page.

CSS Variables

Since the release of CSS Level 2 Recommendation ten years ago in may 1998, the Web authors' community has been requesting a way of defining variables in CSS. Variables allow to define stylesheet-wide values identified by a token and usable in all CSS declarations. If a value is often used in a stylesheet - a common example is the value of the color or background-color properties - it's then easy to update the whole stylesheet statically or dynamically modifying just one variable instead of modifying all style rules applying the property/value pair. We expect CSS Variables to receive a very positive feedback from both the Web authors' community and browser vendors. Saved By: Steve Ivy | View Details | Give Thanks

Sparkl: A Fexible Web Framwork [sic]

Yet another front-end web framework, consisting largely of CSS (but this one also has some JavaScript). I haven't really dove too deeply into it, but it looks decent at a glance. For my tastes, I've yet to see the "perfect CSS framework," (Blueprint's first release was the closest -- since then, it's moved away from many of my preferences), but I'm really happy to see the concept taking off, since I wrote about it in A List Apart. Despite some negativity from other prominent members of the web standards community, I still really believe in the ideas of code re-use and standardization amongst teams on this like class names and markup conventions.
