1. CSS WG members, who are true maniacs and collect newspapers, books, restaurant menus and dozens of other print materials all around the world (I am _not_ kidding) have almost never seen need for those pseudos. 2. the implementation cost of these pseudos is very expensive. 3. the specification cost of how these pseudos really work - and I remind you that something that _looks_ simple like the ::first-letter pseudo is in fact very complex and the CSS WG spent incredible amounts of time on it - is very expensive too. So: extremely narrow user base, high cost and complexity. Conclusion: rejected. Is that clearer ?-) </Daniel>Received on Tuesday, 15 August 2006 20:37:40 GMT
