We have looked very briefly at some, but by no means all of the international support CSS3 modules will offer. What is more, we have only dipped our toes into the properties we have described. When CSS3 is done, many a slide in this tutorial could become a tutorial in its own right.
Some of the features we have discussed have been implemented in Internet Explorer 5+, but the specifications have changed since then, so you should be very careful about using those features. There is no guarantee that anything you implement currently on Internet Explorer will be interoperable code in the long term. For example, the grid layout properties are now completely different.
With the possible exception of the list type property, there do not appear to be any implementations of these features on other user agents as yet.
The following list indicates the current status of the modules discussed here. Note that work is still ongoing on all of these specifications. Even the Candidate Recommendations may return to Working Draft again before they go on to Recommendation.
This is not an exhaustive list of specifications that contain properties relevant to international text. For example, the proposed CSS3 Line module, which has not yet been published as a Working Draft, promises to deliver some important control over behavior related to baseline alignment across scripts.
There is also additional work that must be completed in modules that are dependencies for these specifications.
