| The CSS regions module is independent of the layout of regions
| and the mechanism used to create them.
This module absolutetly should specify a means to generate stylable regions without additional markup. Whether it is an at-rule or a pseudo-element is debatable. I prefer ‘@region’, though.
Then, ‘@region’ like other at-rules, should be followed by an (optional) identifier / name, not an selector. Instead of an approach like ‘@media’ with nested rulesets, the region name should be part of the selector inside a pseudo-class:
@region foo {position: absolute; …}
p {color: red; …}
p:in-region {color: orange; …}
p:in-region(foo) {color: green; …}
| However, for simplicity, our example uses elements as regions …
That would be setting a bad example. Regions should come from the box tree, not from the node tree.
