I do not know jQuery. What I do know is CSS. What I need to know is what is exposed to a CSS parser in a rendering engine. This is all I need to know. So my question is, what is exposed to the CSS parser? >> It's pointless running around in circles and it doesn't help when CSS >> syntax is being develop via WebKit Bugzilla. >> >> https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56727 >> >> > You'll note that Dave Hyatt and I have both agreed on that very bug that we > should wait until the CSS WG concludes their discussion before landing any > code.

If you have noted what messages appear on this list, you will have notice that not all people who contribute on the list or who contribute to CSS are in the CSS WG. I will quote what David say on that bug: | I think this needs discussion on www-style first | before we commit anything. www-style is not the CSS WG. Apart from my contributions here and in the future, the CSS-testsuite, I also subscribe to CSS discuss. I can also give feedback from an authors perspective. -- Alan http://css-class.com/ Armies Cannot Stop An Idea Whose Time Has Come. - Victor Hugo
