This is an official comment on behalf of the CSS working group. I have added the following paragraph to 6.6.3: The difference between :lang(C) and the '|=' operator is that the '|=' operator only performs a comparison against a given attribute on the element, while the :lang(C) pseudo-class uses the UA's knowledge of the document's semantics to perform the comparison. Please let us know if this does not satisfy your request. (The working group will review this change and might change it further; if we do, we will let you know so you can review the new text as well.) -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
