Hi,
Are the css3-* drafts edited as HTML ? Is there a different format (some 
xml) that is used internally for creating these drafts? If so, is this 
accessible to public ?

I ask this because, I am trying to find out what changed between the 
latest draft and the one just before it. This would be useful for 
playing catch as the draft changes.

Thanks,
Anand

Hi there,

There is a public CVS repository with all the CSS specs [1]. You can track the commits there to track changes. For convenience, there is an automated mailing list posting these commits [2], as well as a twitter feed [3].

[2]: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-cs...
[3]: https://twitter.com/csscommits

Here's an [example] comparing two releases of the CSS3 Regions spec.

Didn’t the CSSWG switch to mercurial recently?

http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/csswg/

Apparently twitter.com/csscommits links there, but the 
public-css-commits list stopped in March.

Note that the hg web view is *really* unusable.  If you want the
commits to a particular spec, visit that link, then hit "Files" at the
top, then "files" next to the spec you want, then "revisions" on the
file you want.  We author the Overview.src.html file directly, and
generate the Overview.html file from it, so you usually want to look
at our source file instead to avoid spurious changes from the
generation.

(If you want to see a particular revision, use Overview.html.  Hit
"file" next to the revision you want, then hit "Raw" at the top of the
page.)> Apparently twitter.com/csscommits links there, but the public-css-commits
> list stopped in March.I know. :/  It screwed up my RSS feed.  I'll spend some time fixing
this soonish.

Thanks for all the replies. I should be OK following 
http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/csswg/log  for now.Anand
