That's the reason for which I've never suggested something like it here

::text("i") {content: url("hearty-dotted-i.svg")}
::text("ACME") {content: url("logo.png")}
::text("$search_engine_buzz_words") {display: none}
::text("$search_term") {background: yellow}
::text{"blue"} {color: blue}
@media aural {::text("e. g.") {content: "for example"}}
