A Word About CSS4

There's no CSS4 right now, but eventually it will get a version bump or they'll draw a line in the sand or the community will select a new term that will come to mean the new set of functionality (even if it's not an official spec).

HTML -> DHTML -> HTML5

JavaScript -> AJAX

CSS -> CSS2 -> CSS3 -> ____ -> Profit?

Oh god how does Javascript become AJAX?

AJAX is largely part of DOM, it's just some http callbacks your browser provide to Javascript.

I'm not saying that I think that those are the technically accurate terms (they're not). But that's what they're called. It's what sells books and causes articles to trend.

Also, wasn't DHTML just HTML+JS?

DHTML was just a way to sell books with 'DHTML' in the title.
