Better standards. The points I wish to address are all details, but
sometimes very important.

Example:

<DIV ID="test">Some text in a DIV</DIV>

div#test {
  width: 300px;
  height: 300px;
  vertical-align: bottom;
}

should put the text in the bottom of the DIV. At the moment this is not
allowed, in fact the definition for vertical-align is terribly (and
unnecessarily) complicated.

To me, that's the idea.
