ANN: cssutils 0.9.5a4

[Christof Hoeke]

what is it
----------
A Python package to parse and build CSS Cascading Style Sheets.

main changes
------------
0.9.5a4
     + **FEATURE**: Defining a namespace with a prefix but an empty 
namespaceURI is not allowed in XML 1.0 (but in XML 1.1). It is allowed 
in CSS and therefor also in cssutils.

     + **FEATURE**: Added property ``css.CSSImportRule.name`` and 
``css.CSSMediaRule.name`` as decribed in 
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-cascade/#cascading. It is parsed, serialized 
and available in this new property now. Property ``name`` is a 
constructor parameter now too.

     + **FEATURE**: ``css.UnknownRule`` is now parsed properly ...

     - **BUGFIX**: Improved escaping ...

     - **BUGFIX**: Fixed serialization of namespaces in Selector 
objects. Actually all possible namespaced selectors should be preserved 
now ...

     - **BUGFIX**: Default namespace is no longer used by attribute 
selectors.

     - IMPROVEMENT: Added simple testtool for functional tests in 
/examples plus lots of smaller bugfixes, improvements and refactorings


For full details for 0.9.5a4 see the relevant CHANGELOG: 
http://cssutils.googlecode.com/svn/tags/TAG_0.9.5a4/CHANGELOG.txt

A few (minor) non-backwards compatible changes have been made, please 
see 
http://cssutils.googlecode.com/svn/tags/TAG_0.9.5a4/documentation/migrate.txt 
for migration help.


Note:
     CSSValue, CSSValueList, and CSSPrimitiveValue and the relevant 
methods/properties Property.cssValue and 
CSSStyleDeclaration.getPropertyCSSValue are more or less DEPRECATED and 
will probably be replaced with interfaces defined in CSSOM. For now use 
the properties and methods that handle values as simple strings, e.g. 
``Property.value``. As the aforementioned classes are not hardly that 
useful anyway this should not be a big problem but please beware if you 
use or have used them.

     If you think this a bad idea please let me know!
