We have “text-align”; why can’t we have “block-align” which could either be “center” or “auto” and centers all direct children including text and block elements? Using “margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;” is not apparent to beginners and it is not guaranteed to function this way since the W3 CSS spec doesn’t specifically mention this trick. Something to make column layouts easy to mark up would also be nice. I wish for native CSS centering of block-level elements.

It is better to use a baked in solution. And remote Illuminations for Chrome on a SenchaTouch app would be pretty cool.

My wish is starting use standard slider, date picker and so on for building more intuitive web app easily. I love the two first wishes, because a standard audio api would make thing easier for everyone. A camera access would open a lot of field on web like augmented reality, virtual reality, live retouching pictures and prevent me doing C++ / xhr request on each frame When will we be talking about HTML5 Form which seem’s basic stuff and still not implemented (except for Opera) ?

Some of those shell shocked MS dev troopers will discover Sencha Nivana. My wish for 2012 is to witness Ed Spencer (in the role of Harry Potter) jump on his broom stick and engage in mortal combat with the JQuery dragon. My money will be on Ed since the poor dragon will be weighed down by the mass of all those incompatible widgets in the JQuery UI gallery.
