What do they mean by rendering in CSS3 instead of the DOM?
Maybe CSS-powered manipulations instead of using JS to manipulate the DOM directly? As in, tag it with a class and use CSS to animate + hide + everything beyond that, instead of using a JS effects library.

Working on? I've been using this for the past few months, ever since I heard about it. One time I wanted to send an attachment on a machine without Firefox or Chrome. I didn't bother, because it would have taken too long for the value it would have added to the email.
