Yes, but the first is only half the picture as it does not include the
extra transformation step.
The rules for the first would effectively be:
div { modifiy-context: div.floatContainer > :selected() } /* STTS */
div.floatContainer { float: right; width: 50%; } /* CSS */
div.floatContainer > div { margin: 2em; border: solid 2em; padding: 2em; }
The rules for the second:
div { margin: 2em; border: solid 2em; padding: 2em; width: 50%;
float: right; box-sizing: margin-box; }
Now tell me which is clearest...
(Notes: That is the first time I've written some STTS, so don't blame
me if it is wrong Daniel! Also note that it is one line of STTS. I'd
hate to know how long the relevant XSL document would be...)
