    I seriously look forward to variables. Especially where I want to reuse a color for different properties. It also allows you to pull your color standards out of the CSS jumble so you can quickly look at the stylesheet and see what colors you’re using. If you want to do a series of color changes or do bulk template design that gets easier too. It’s not a big thing, but CSS is messy and any way we can clean it up is welcome.

    On Scoped Styles: I can see their value. Particularly where you want wigit-like behavior. Being able to say, I want these styles to only affect this element and it’s descendants.

    Partner this with a style-reset property/ability and you can have iframe-like control over components of a page. I know that it might sound bad to break the cascade like that, but there are cases where it would be useful.

    You might consider using a .htaccess to make your css files behave like php. Brings a lot more oppertunities!
