Yeah!

Well, at least some higher-level interface to CSS::SAC to get a proper
parser if you want to do something CSS Level X specific.

I thought CSS::Properties for properties, CSS::Selectors for selectors,

Shouldn't be too hard, I can write a Perl Script to extract data, that's
why we are here :-) Prose restricitons and additions will be hard,
though.

Just do it for some properties, interesting would be

  font-family
  font
  margin
  clip
  vertical-align
  text-shadow

This should cover most of the not too simple cases ;-)
