[...] This was briefly (and unofficially) discussed at the last CSSWG meeting and the general feeling of those who discussed it was that the colons should me there. So ':before', '::before' and '::selection' would all be valid and would make sense, while 'before', 'selection' and ':selection' would be invalid. This isn't an official answer though. As much work is planned on the CSSOM spec, we will hopefully clarify this at some point in the future. -- Ian Hickson ``The inability of a user agent to implement part of this specification due to the limitations of a particular device (e.g., non interactive user agents will probably not implement dynamic pseudo-classes because they make no sense without interactivity) does not imply non-conformance.'' -- Selectors, Sec13
