Yes, it is silly, that was the point. I said in the same e-mail that the syntax I was offering was not one worth using, it was just an example of intent.

Apparently we have to pull this discussion backwards, to a discussion of whether authors can actually use this. I don't think any of the e-mails in this thread or the previous reflect reality - they all pretend that using straight CSS without a single hack gets you just what you want. Have a look at the CSS Eric Meyer writes, a guy who writes a tremendous amount of *practical* CSS, including some for the W3C. Do you see any hacks there? Yes? And those hacks are the most confusing part of any CSS for a novice.
