I certainly hope that isn't the outcome of the drive to conform with CSS. I thought (from glancing over some of the papers on css3) that the outcome was more the other way that CSS would eventually extend its formatting model to be more like that of XSL, with properties suitable for printing pages on paper as well as the more traditional CSS domain of screen rendering. I don't really see any reason why XSL formatting objects can't cover both web and paper publishing, and that CSS can't be essentially just a different selection mechanism and syntax over the same basic formatting model.
