aloha, ian!

Thanks for sending these, Hans. By the way, I verified with Philippe Le

not even in the CSS Extended Interfaces?
http://www.w3c.org/TR/CR-DOM-Level2-19991210/css.html#CSS-extended
isn't that how the DOM would getPropertyCSSValue for counters defined by an
author via a stylesheet? (2 such interfaces spring to mind:
CSS2CounterIncrement and CSS2CounterReset) -- like pseudo-elements, these
are classified as "generated content", aren't they?
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/generate.html
and, if the CSS Extended Interfaces for DOM Level 2 are providing
information about CSS2-defined cursors, surely they could also be extended
to include the content defined using :before and :after...
rich, is this something to put on the Protocols & Formats' requirements
request list for CSS3, or am i barking up the wrong tree? i certainly hope
not, as i'd hate to have to rely on son-of-the-off-screen-model in order to
obtain the content for :before and :after pseudo-elemental text...
