Re: Is Common Failure Technique F87: inserting non-decorative content by using ::before and ::after pseudo-elements; still valid?

Thanks Patrick, had to chuckle at the preamble you wrote.

Agree with your overarching concern, if a user chooses to disabled CSS,
should the author be responsible for that. I think that has to be answered
in the negative.

Disabling CSS would, in my opinion, tip the balance more into the scope of
what I would consider to be user defined content.

This nicely avoids a debate as to why anyone would choose to disable CSS in
the first place and progressive enhancement.
