Did CSS get more complicated since the late nineties?

Hidde de Vries gathers some of the early thinking about CSS:

There is quite a bit of information on the web about how CSS was designed. Keeping it simple was a core principle. It continued to be — from the early days and the first implementations in the late nineties until current developments now.

The four main design principles listed are fascinating:

  • Authors can specify as much or little as they want
  • It is not a programming language by design
  • They are agnostic as to which medium they are used for
  • It is stream-based

So... did it?

I think lots has changed since the early nineties, but not really things that touch on how we apply CSS to structured markup.
