michaelw··on Ask HN: What's the best feature you've built that no one uses?
CSS Expressions. Aka Dynamic Properties.

Recently deprecated http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537634(VS.85).aspx

Ironically now showing up in other browsers own extensions.

Reasons for failure:

* distrust of Microsoft inventions in the browser

* incomplete implementation strategy based on javascript instead of custom expression parser

* security issues because of using javascript instead of a custom expression parser
