If authors want to do that now, it's not such a big deal for them to provide their own disclosure icon as a background image in the padding area, or to use this in their own styles: [open]>summary::before { content: url(open.png); } summary::before { content: url(closed.png); }. > I expect this to be fixed on the CSS side in due > time, with the 'display' property split into some subproperties such > that ::marker generation is independent of the list item being inline > or block.

Agreed, that's why I said it only provides a workaround, and we are not taking that approach internally. Our implementation will be black-box-equivalent to the first two alternatives, minus the XBL bindings, and our UA stylesheet will be exactly as I described in the proposed solution. So either of those approaches should be acceptable, though I do prefer the more elegant display:transparent; approach. -- Lachlan Hunt - Opera Software http://lachy.id.au/ http://www.opera.com/
