I find it highly unlikely that a file of type text/html would be stylistic, and thus I think the specification should explicitly state that, for visual media, the uri() values for generated content should only be used if the resource at the URI is an image. This helps to enforce separation of content and presentation and makes it clear that a feature that would add significant complexity to implementations of 'content' is not required. If CSS3 has a value for the content property that uses a URI that comes from an attribute in the source document rather than from the stylesheet, it might make sense to relax this restriction for such values. -David -- L.
