Hey, neither am I. However, I do like the idea, and would like it in the
spec even if it is an optional feature. At least this way it has a good
chance of eventually being available.

Unfortunately, although I would consider myself an advanced user, I cannot
change any of the server settings of any of the www server acting as hosts.
Also, personally I do *everything* using HTML/CSS - documentation,
worksheets, homeworks, posters, web sites. I am even starting (with the
addition of JavaScript) to write programs using HTML/CSS! Regular
Expressions would be a very useful addition to the arsenal CSS provides in
helping me compete with people using DTP programs.
