Re: [css3-selectors] inheriting ::selection pseudo style

forgive me if I'm wrong as I honestly haven't a clue what you are  
trying to intimate.

however:

> <span>This text has part of it  
> <div::selection><span::selection>selected</div::selection></ 
> span::selection></span>

appears to have overlapping div and span elements, would:

<span>This text has part of it  
<div::selection><span::selection>selected</span::selection></ 
div::selection></span>

suit the purpose better?

cheers

I think it would be the first. Can anyone come up with text that  
describes
how exactly this should work, including interaction with ::first-letter
and ::first-line? (David?)
