How to read CSS specification?

I found the CSS2.1 specification. However, it seems that I should be reading some CSS3 specification which I cannot find. The reason for that is everybody is asking are you using CSS3? Frankly, I'm confused about what to read to have a good understanding of CSS. I think that the specification is the best resource but I can't find CSS3 specification.

The CSS3 specification is split into modules, a list of which you can find here.

CSS2.1 is the base recommendation from which most new modules extend (and supersede), and is what most browsers implement especially in areas with little CSS3 support as yet. If you have a good understanding of CSS2.1 then you have most of it covered, and you should not have too much trouble with the new modules (and neither should browsers other than Google Chrome).

Some modules have completed and reached Recommendation status; you can find a list of these in the above link under Completed, or with descriptions here. These replace their respective CSS2.1 sections, so for example Selectors level 3 supersedes CSS2.1 Selectors.
