We already have @title and as section 2.6 of WF2 says: "Authors should include a description of the pattern in the title attribute. User agents may use the contents of this attribute when informing the user that the pattern is not matched, or at any other suitable time, such as in a tooltip or read out by assistive technology when the control gains focus."

What's the problem with having :valid and :invalid CSS pseudo-classes ? Greetings -- Nils Dagsson Moskopp <http://dieweltistgarnichtso.net>
