One inherent limitation of the 3x design of Quanta was CSS integration. For 
instance Quanta can use the parser to list PHP variables in include files and 
show them in the structure tree. CSS editing was developed independently and 
while the editor works nicely in context, and one would not want to 
inadvertently edit a stylesheet while working on a page, it was never fully 
integrated. So as a result it's not possible to follow back CSS through 
linked pages. That should be incorporated internally in the DTEP and the 
parser similar to how it is with PHP.

This was one of those things we couldn't get done while fixing bugs and 
adhering to the desktop release schedule. I've long considered we should be 
on an independent release schedule so we can plan and finish what we want to. 
As it happens we are now because of the decision I agree to (which I don't 
regret) to use the KDevelop platform. Unfortunately as I thought might be the 
case it is delaying a KDE4 release, but I hope it will prove worth the wait.

Andras and I have to discuss when we think we can have a KDE4 release, but 
it's going to be months of hard work away. If anyone wants to offer to patch 
some of the small shortcomings in the 3x version I'd consider a special 
release, but I'd much prefer to discuss and decide on the developer list.
