good find, but I’m not really a fan of terse, compressed CSS descriptors - If I want a good dose of unreadable code, I pull out a disk with some C++ on it and my old glasses.

With CSS files being all text and with GZ compression, it’s hardly worth the effort.

Note also, that some browsers interpret and render shorthand codes differently*
*older browsers you may not encounter, but also a lot of cellphone browsers (other than the excellent OperaMini & Safari)
