From: Hakon Lie <howcome@w3.org> | | A fictional tag sequence is the original tag sequence (from the HTML | document) + any tags resulting from addressing pseudo-elements. In the | example below, <P:first-line> is a fictional tag and the sequence is | then called fictional. | | > > <P><P:first-line><EM>The</EM> first line</P:first-line> ... --- The write-up needs to make clear that the tags really are fictional - they provide a way of visualizing what happens, not a real mechanism. It should also say somethting explicit about what happens when the fictional tags don't nest correctly (suppose the end of the first rendered line of a paragraph falls in the middle of an EM element, for instance) - presumably the browser needs to re-calculate inherited attributes at the end of the pseudo-element, even though it's in the middle of another tag. scott -- scott preece motorola/mcg urbana design center 1101 e. university, urbana, il 61801 phone: 217-384-8589 fax: 217-384-8550 internet mail: preece@urbana.mcd.mot.com
