The statement in the spec says that they're not allowed to pass invalid selectors, which means that in the case Simon mentioned, you are requiring that authors check that the selector is valid before passing the selector in. Removing this line doesn't make the selector valid; the selector spec already defines what is valid and what is not. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
