Safari and CSS 3.0

Leland Scott has detailed how well Safari 3 has done with respect to CSS support:

Safari 3 / WebKit has implemented 18 of the 19 CSS 3.0 styles so far tackled by any of the major browsers. Firefox is next with 9 of 19. Some of these styles are incredibly cool and powerful, and they?ll change the way designers (both graphic designers and UI designers) put web content together for years to come. I wanted to raise the profile for this work, since it doesn?t seem to be getting enough attention. Even though IE 7.0 hasn?t implemented any of these yet, I hope Web 2.0 programmer/designers will feel empowered to start trying these out.

He is particularly excited about:

1. Box-shadow: Yes! Add drop shadows through CSS!
2. Multi-column layout: Can we really do this now? With HTML?
3. Resize: Give JavaScript hacks a rest and let users relax when typing input on web pages.
4. Rounded corners: Any
   can be made round.
5. Colors with transparency: There goes another ugly hack from way back!
6. Background image controls: Remember how great it was when you could add images as well as colors to an element?s background CSS style? Well, it?s about to get a whole lot better!

Considering the call out for a CSS 5-like effort, can we get the ball moving again?
