Hopefully they can be more fine-grained than simply "use this stylesheet". I'd like to be able to use if statements and basic maths within a stylesheet rule. And Multi-Columns are <strong>only</strong> useful if the entire column height fits on the screen. Otherwise the scroll-down, scroll-up activity totally cancels out any benefits of utilizing the screen width. Web Fonts are also exciting, but I can see a big period of overuse for the first 5 years before some authors realise that having wads of copy in some novelty font isn't such a good idea.
