Cream colored text on a pixelated, white background. Title is difficult to read! Otherwise nice post.

TLDR: "CSS appears to be Turing complete. Sorry for wasting your time :)"

Sure, but the work that the entire internet based the claim on until now was in fact not a proof at all. Which is the main point, for me at least.

Isn't it strange that Wikipedia, some CS professors and many, many other places didn't even take the time to look at the "proof" before announcing the "fact" that CSS was turing complete? I like my proofs a little more proofed than that :)
