I don't understand what you mean by ignored, could you elaborate? Does it return elements that would not be matched by either class in a style sheet? >I'm considering adjusting the spec to allow just two options, and making >IE8's behaviour non-conforming.

Those should not be disallowed. Better would be to explicitly disallow methods known to be problematic. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
