This misunderstands the proposal, which was to use markup (<output>) to trigger
the CSS behaviour. HTML rendering in the HTML spec is defined in terms of CSS
even for non-CSS UAs, so adding this to CSS does not require that UAs implement
CSS.
The only use case given in this bug so far is the one in comment 3, which as
far as I can tell is the same as the use cases given in bug 10807. If there are
other use cases to consider here, such as the ones in comment 12, then please
describe them, ideally with URLs pointing to real Web pages showing those use
cases, so that I can study them. It's impossible to evaluate proposals without
concrete use cases.
