About this title

About the Author

Hkon Wium Lie is a product of the MIT Media Lab's Electronic Publishing Group, who joined the WWW project at CERN Physics Laboratory in Geneva in the early days of the Web. He first proposed the concept of Cascading Style Sheets in 1994 and is now responsible for Style Sheets within W3C. When not working on how to beautify web pages, he paints 'Rothko'-like paintings and collects bits and pieces for his soon to be built, computer controlled pipe organ.  Bert Bos completed his Ph.D in Groningen, The Netherlands, on a prototyping language for graphical user interfaces. He developed browser software and support for humanities scholars and then joined the W3C at INRIA/Sophia-Antipolis in 1995. He started, and for three years led, W3C's work on internationalization, and now coordinates the development of new versions of XML. He continues his work on Style Sheets.
