Been thinking about formalizing a style guide for CSS as CSS3 includes some especially complex syntax. Here’s how I’ve been playing this tune lately.
My preference is towards improving readability and scan-ability, if at the cost of length.
Values for the same property should line up across declarations. This is a win for debugging as it makes it easier for glance at all the values and ensure that they are the same. Also good if you want to change them fast. With a visual cascade, you can quickly group the properties together see where the next one begins.
