+## \* Why this alternative?
+
+The YUI CSS compressor has been a faithful servant for years. But there are
+a few things it muddles up. The one that got me started was this:
+
+    -moz-transition: all 0s linear 200ms;
+
+Which the YUI compressor rewrites to:
+
+    -moz-transition:all 0 linear 200ms;
+
+Mozilla won't parse that, because `0` is not a valid time value. You may have 
+encountered other little gotchas, like `background:none` being erroneously 
+shortened to `background:0` and so on. In my testing, Clean-CSS produces a
+higher fidelity compression in these areas. (Here's a handy online tool for 
+comparative testing: http://gpbmike.github.io/refresh-sf/)
+
+Beyond that, Clean-CSS has some useful features around automatic inlining of
+`@import` statements, and rebasing of URLs to a common root.
+
+One final rationale is dependencies. Presumably you're also doing JS
+minification, and these days you're probably using a JavaScript library
+running on a JS VM to do it (Uglify, CoffeeScript, etc). Needing to install
+and run a full Java VM purely for CSS minification is arguably wasteful —
+it seems better to crush your styles the same way you crush the behavior.
