Good day, Martin. >> p[color="red"] {...} >> table {cellspacing:0} >> >> <span color="red" class="a"> MA> all presentational attributes in HTML should have equivilant properties in CSS ... +1 MA> ... exact name, content model and usage may differ. -1 I thought exactly about this, when i created topic. MA> HTML doesn't have a "color" attribute on SPAN. -1 for me. I messed two ideas in one letter without comments: idea of unification "in vertical" (unification of attribute's and property's names, content model and usage), and idea of unification "in horizontal" (unification by extending of presentational features to all tags - as far, as it's possible). I imagine kernel of browser as _DBMS_ (maybe some non-standard DBMS), so i think about presentational features in terms of fields of DBMS (and about change of features in terms of waking of triggers). Hereof i'd like to unificate _scheme_ of database. --- MA> The attribute selector you used there is valid CSS, though sadly it MA> doesn't have good compatibility across all major browsers. I know: i wrote both already used syntax (to which you refer) and new proposing syntax to show generality of them. MA> Your cellspacing example is also already catered for by CSS, though it's MA> not a direct mapping onto the deprecated HTML attribute "cellspacing". MA> See the "border-spacing" CSS property[1]. MA> [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/tables.html#propdef-border-spacing I thought not about particular case. >> p[color="red"] {...} MA> to separate the semantics from the presentation: MA> p.errormessage { ... } I agree in that, i could bring more successful example. But creating examples with @color and "red" is my feature :) >> <span color="red" class="a"> MA> <span class="errormessage"> My example is case of _local_ correction of presentational feature.
