Selectors fans - the CSS WG published a LCWD of the Selectors spec; comments due April 7: <http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-css3-selectors-20090310/> Begin forwarded message: > From: ext Bert Bos <bert@w3.org> > Date: March 11, 2009 3:05:24 PM EDT > Subject: Last Call for comments on Selectors (css3-selectors) > > The CSS WG just published a new WD for Selectors[1] accompanied by a > last call for reviews. In principle, the deadline is four weeks from > now: April 7. If your WG wants to send comments but need longer, > please, let us know. > > About the specification: > > Selectors debuted in CSS, but are now also used in other technologies. > They select elements and a few other things in tree-structured > documents or in an (interactive) rendering of such a document. We call > this specification "Selectors level 3" to distinguish it from the > subset used by CSS level 2 and the even smaller subset of CSS level 1. > > The specification is quite old. It was published as a CR in 2001, then > republished as a WD in 2005 in order to remove one feature that wasn't > implemented (the "content" selector) and now again, with one more > feature removed: The "selection" selector, although implemented, > showed > problems that we decided to not deal with right now. > > The next step should be PR, because we have a test suite and it > appears > to be implemented. (We haven't published the test reports, because > since they were last written, we fixed some bugs in both the tests and > the spec. We'll make new ones before PR, of course.) > > [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-css3-selectors-20090310/ > > > > Bert > -- > Bert Bos ( W 3 C ) http://www.w3.org/ > http://www.w3.org/people/bos W3C/ERCIM > bert@w3.org 2004 Rt des Lucioles / BP 93 > +33 (0)4 92 38 76 92 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France >
