[Bug 28170] Reference to CSS element content in <br> and <wbr> rendering

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=28170

--- Comment #7 from Andrea Rendine <master.skywalker.88@gmail.com> ---
I see. Yes, I found an IRC log from Feb 23 where you wrote the same. Is that
true that display-outside is not supported by browsers yet, not even in for
other values? And that <br> and <wbr> elements would be the only uses for
display-outside values "newline" and "break-opportunity" respectively?

Anyway, apart from my previous reply, this doesn't apply to W3 HTML5.1 working
draft, which still shows the old rendering rule (maybe it's just a matter of
not being updated since last July). The problem is, both the display-outside
and the element{content} are now impractical solutions, i.e. solutions based on
currently un-standardized and unsupported CSS properties.
On the contrary, as I noticed above, a simple element::after{content} seems a
base to solve the issue, using standard, supported rules. Is there a reason why
this hasn't been proposed? (It's just a layman's request/idea/proposal)
