Prince: Print CSS that works!?

Joe Clark posted a link to an interesting video over at Typophile.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcXUrNSvjhU
It’s a presentation of the Prince software which is intended to allow one to create print layouts (PDF output) using HTML and CSS3.
What’s impressive is that this is basically a browser that actually fully supports CSS3 properly…which is hard (impossible?) to find these days [...]
