Issue 18 on CSS3 Values hasn't been resolved yet: http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-values/issues-lc-2012.html#issue-18 To summarize, attr() needs to return a "default value" for each type, for when the attribute can't be parsed as the type or when it's missing. For URLs, we'd like the default value to be always-invalid, or never-resolvable, so that it fails no matter what context you're using it in. (It can't, for example, resolve to some UA-defined HTML 404 page, as that might be interpretable by some future CSS property that, say, de-magic-ifies iframes.) However, there is no such URL in existence so far. We propose just defining it to be the url "about:invalid", and then subsequently getting that URL added to the about: registry. Any objections? ~TJReceived on Thursday, 28 June 2012 19:09:00 GMT
