So, if object X is being, or would very likely be, damaged by being in country Y, I believe country Y has lost all right to the ownership of object X
You are arguing against the basic premise of a nation state, which is that a country has sovereign and complete rights over the geographical area and people generally acknowledged to belong to it currently. Since oil deposits formed in Saudi Arabia before the creation of their country, does oil become world heritage?
The international community can only show their disagreement through diplomatic and economic pressures. This is not only sound theory, but ensures such strong measures are only taken on solid grounds, not on a vague principle like you mentioned above. Thankfully, military measures have largely decreased, despite Iraq and Afghanistan.
Also, what has historically spurred military action is the lure of land-based riches and in rare cases, tragic oppression of human rights.
It's extremely presumptous to dispossess a nation of some resource from afar. What if a democratically elected government decides to raze historical monuments for some great material benefit? Or what if most citizens are happy with an existing monarchy and it makes such a decision?
For the last couple of weeks, I have been going through these extremely good scientific lectures at the Royal Society here:
Archive - complete list of webstreams.
They are available in Real and Microsoft Media Player formats.
Any @import rules must precede all rule sets in a style sheet.
What is the technical reason for this? Is it possible to relax this so that import rules can be embedded in a style tag anywhere in the page, similar to how Javacript includes can be inserted anywhere?
This can be used by users of publishing systems to mix different 3rd party styles into the page, where they are not allowed to modify the HTML HEAD section - for example, Livejournal, Blogger and Wordpress. Javascript has benefited a lot by this feature.
Will doing webpages with CSS always requiring knowing the layout manager in detail and hand-coding markup, or are there any plans to encourage better tools like these:
A drag and drop layout tool which will generate proper CSS. Some properties would still need to be set by the user.
Ditto for the styling too.
Variables in CSS files and libraries of CSS files which can be included, like the current trend with Javascript.
A major development is the addition of XSLT support using a native XSLTProcessor object just like Mozilla. This is significant because Opera has been strongly opposing XSLT for a long time now.
Web developers using XSLT for the presentation layer would find this news heartening.

In the end, none of this "belongs" to a country.

According to the CSS spec:
