The working draft on namespaces in CSS [1] extends attribute selectors by allowing namespace qualifiers on attribute names, separated by '|'. This creates an ambiguity that I think (?) does not exist elsewhere in the CSS grammar. Once a CSS parser has parsed a selector up to [ident| it isn't yet clear whether a hyphen-separated attribute selector or an attribute with a namespace is being parsed. The selector could be one of (among others): [ident|ident="value"] [ident|="value"] Is this a bad thing? -David [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-namespace/ L.
