You might remember “CSS3” and how hot of a buzzword that is. JavaScript still has successful “ES202X” naming that groups features into useful buckets. But CSS hasn’t benefited from named groups since CSS3.

I’ve written:

CSS3, and perhaps to a larger degree, “HTML5”, became (almost) household names. It was so successful, it’s leaving us wanting to pull that lever again. It was successful on a ton of levels:

  • It pushed browser technology forward, particularly on technologies that had been stale for too long.
  • It got site owners to think, “hey maybe it’s a good time to update our website.“
  • It got educators to think, “hey maybe it’s a good time to update our curriculums.“

Then it felt like a pipedream. Now it’s real! You can see how the official community group is grouping CSS features and comment on the RFC (Request for Comments). I take no issues with the groups. Ship it.
