:In Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Specification, Version
:1.0, W3C Candidate Recommendation 07 March, 2000, under
:Section 5.3 CSS Extended Interfaces, just prior to the
:description of Interface CSS2FontFaceSrc appears a table whose
:descriptions states:
:
:"The following table specifies the type of CSSValue used to
:represent each descriptor that can be specified in a
:CSSStyleDeclaration found in a CSSFontFaceRule for a CSS Level
:2 style sheet."
:
:In this table, the entries for "src", and "width" specify
:"list of CSS2FontFaceSrc" and "list of CSS2FontFaceWidths",
:respectively. However, neither CSS2FontFaceSrc nor
:CSS2FontFaceWidths are derived from CSSValue (and thus are not
:candidates for valueType CSS_CUSTOM), nor are they covered by
:a CSSPrimitiveValue.
:
:My question then is how are CSS2FontFaceSrce or
:CSS2FontFaceWidths to be interpreted as a "type of CSSValue"?
:
:A similar question holds for CSS2TextShadow which also does
:not derive from CSSValue yet is shown in the larger table at
:the beginning of section 5.3 as being used in a "list of
:CSSTextShadow" for the "text-shadow" property.
I imagine that this would be implementation specific, but would probably
follow the idiom used for counter rect and rgb types. That is, embed the
types in a CSSPrimitiveValue and use a getXX() call which throws an
exception if the embbeded type XX is not the case.
