Why would you use that extra level of indirection? This is the worst
of both worlds - you're explicitly writing each marker in the markup,
but you still need CSS to actually see the marker.
That said, yes, it should work. There's just no point. ^_^ (Also,
that's not a valid value for the @value attribute, though CSS doesn't
care.)
