Seems to me that this would also be entirely consistent with backward
compatibility; eg:
@combine {
selector1 { attr1: val1 };
selector2 { attr2: val2 };
}
If the defined behavior for "@combine" was "either all should succeed or
all should fail", then it would be interpreted correctly by UAs that
don't understand @combine: all would fail!
Thoughts? Anyone in the WG think this is an idea worth pursuing, or
should we all just give up and go home?
Stuart.
