A revision to CSS2 is in the works. "[T]he CSS Working Group has released an interim Working Draft of Cascading Style Sheets, Level 2 Revision 1 (CSS 2.1)" (http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-CSS21-20030128/)
Voice Extensible Markup Language (VoiceXML) Version 2.0 is now a Candidate Recommendation. (http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/CR-voicexml20-20030128/)
And they're even working on an Ink Markup Language. (http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/NOTE-inkreqs-20030122/)

I have to say though that I think a lot of what they are doing in CSS 2.1 is wrong. They're removing/changing stuff that they shouldn't in my opinion. Not to say there aren't good points too though.

BTW Rick, you might be interested in knowing that url for cursors are BACK in the latest draft :)
Make sure to complain about other things you don't like, the W3C is listening.

Yeah actually I quickly looked at it the other day and saw it. I'm glad that's back, and I think there was a note about using SVG and PNG for cursors. I was reading on the Mozillazine forums and it made me think that URL was removed because there is no cross-platform cursor standard.

And the good folks are out with another XHTML™ 2.0 Working draft.

Yes, CSS Orange is now a being thought of as a 'Color', which is strange, but at least there is now an explanation - so it wasn't Frobozz afterall.
Unfortunately at the moment, the XHTML 2.0 draft is going one step forward and two steps back, destroying some of the better XHTML 1.1 concepts.

Hehe, maybe you should offer that slogan to them? ;) I'm too lazy to look, but does CSS 3 include orange too?

Yepp, and a ****load of other colors too.

Not sure how usefull it will be, other then as suggestions when you pick out your colors, as older browsers will still need the hexvalue to work.

Oh I see they've taken in all those stupid colours ;) I can't really see the point of colour names, I prefer to use proper hex values, execpt for things like white, black, red, blue etc. But I suppose as a lot of browsers support those colours anyway they might as well be there. Actually I would have thought browsers would have a list of colour names in a config file or something so that users can edit it if they want another colour that is introduced later, or becomes popular on the web.
