CSS selectors can't be based on the computed value of CSS properties,  
since you need to figure out what selectors match an element to  
determine its computed style. For an extreme example of why this is  
not workable:

ins:display["inline"] {
     display: block;
     background-color: red;
}

ins:display["block"] {
     display: inline;
     background-color: lime;
}

<ins>what's my background color?</ins>
