Hi,
Since XHTML documents commonly just belong to one singe namespace,
I'd like to have a simple method to declare the default namespace. I
couldn't find anything in the CSS3 Selectors draft; to be honest, I
think the three namespace sections should be put into one section; I
already wanted to complain the omission of namespaces for attribute
selectors since I couldn't find them in the draft. The new section could
be made up like
5 Namespaces in CSS
5.1 Element selectors
5.2 Attribute selectors
5.3 The universal selector
5.4 Backward compatibility
Anyway, does the spec already include a method to match all elements in
the XHTML namespace without using this namespace each time? Section
6.1.1 talks of a default namespace and says, what happens if none is
selected, but it doesn't say how to do that. I thought of something like
@namespace "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
p::first-line { text-line-through-color: rgb(7,155,32) }
or
@namespace * url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
p::first-line { text-line-through-color: rgb(7,155,32) }
How to refer to elements in the default namespace with the | namespace
separator syntax?
