RE: Dealing with form elements...

But a pseudoclass extension would be equally beyond the scope of CSS1.
And by the way - answer YOUR phone.  :^)

I understand your approach in Emacs-W3 - an excellent one - but my point
was that exposure of declarative features would have to be in CSS, not
DSSSL (or some subset or relative) or it would be outside the abilities
of those systems that do not support DSSSL directly.
