RE: Styling based on instance data

In my hypothetical syntax (a magical CSS selector xpath function) your
use case would be satisfied with
 xforms|*::value[xpath(.="blue")] { background-color: blue; }
The advantage of the xpath function is that you get the full power of
XPath.

Your syntax (the addition of a content pseudo-attribute) has the
advantage that it appears trivial to implement.
It still has the feature that you can test the content, so it would also
satisfy Roland's positive/negative number case.

But I don't see a way to navigate to other nodes, so the styling would
be dependent only on the data value, and can't be used to satisfy my use
case (the "webmail" checkbox selected boolean per item).

Perhaps my case is slightly different, styling based on a control's
bound 
node's value.

On thing along these lines that I've wanted to do is:

<style type="text/css">
...
xforms|*::value[content="blue"] { background-color: blue; }

Where the implicit attribute "content" would enable things like having 
select's item be blue as well as the select's value being blue (when 
choice of "blue" of course).
