It doesn't need to be nearly as restricted as :first-line, since it's tree-like. It's much more like :before and :after. (For more on the distinctions, see the comment I wrote at http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/4cabe72ad940/layout/style/nsCSSPseudoElements.h#l50 , and note that it mentions a third intermediate category, in which some proposed XForms pseudo-elements, and perhaps some future pseudo-elements, would fit.) -David -- L.
