This is the CSS WG's response to an issue you raised on the last CSS
2.1 draft (http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-CSS21-20030915). We want to
publish CSS 2.1 as a CR in about two weeks. Please let us know this
week if you think our response is wrong.

:first-line
This entire section takes the "fictional tag sequence" idea
a bit too literally. For example,
# the user agent could generate the appropriate start and
# end tags for SPAN when inserting the fictional tag
# sequence for :first-line.
No. You can't make the tags real, because then you wind up
with an obscure box model. Suppose, for example, I specify
span { border: 1px solid}. The border shouldn't indicate a
split in the span element at the end of the first line.
CSS WG response:
Changed to: "the user agent could simulate start and end tags for
SPAN when inserting the fictional tag sequence for :first-line."
For the CSS WG,
Bert
