Uh... Can we please define "some trickery"? Are you talking "any rule with this magic pseudo-class has higher specificity than any rule without this magic pseudo-class"? Something else? The main benefit of using a pseudo-class is that it allows you to style the input itself, not just the text, right? Is that desirable? Is it desirable enough to rewrite CSS cascading to do it? -Boris
