Yep, that is one of the arguments for keeping ::outside in draft. Sometimes you need more the one container to properly format particular element and either content model of markup does not allow you to insert extra elements or you want to keep markup sematics oriented and avoid bulk elements that are needed for presenatational purposes only. One example could be CSS homepage from 2002: http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS10/screen-2002-small.png to achive shadow effect one used to wrap each section in two nested div elements and shift one of them. Having ::outside that would be unnecessary. Another example are anomymous table objects. Currently they are effectively unstylable and do not always work as author wants. With ::outside many of them could be substituted with stylable containers. Third example where ::outside is useful is probably replaced content as you might want to have different containing blocks for image (the one that defines dimentions and style of image) and for frame around image (the one that defines dimentions and style of frame). You may also what to place content of title attribute below image that could be done using ::outside::before or ::outside::after. > If that is so, we'll also have to discuss whether '::outside' is better > than Advanced Layout, Grid Positioning They are not necessarily mutually exclusive. > or 'display-role'/'display-model' for creating built-up formulas Yep, extending box model is something that one can think about. -- _______________________________________________ Surf the Web in a faster, safer and easier way: Download Opera 9 at http://www.opera.com Powered by Outblaze
