In section CSS2v1:12.1
(http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/generate.html#before-after-content), I
find the following:
The :before and :after pseudo-elements elements allow values of the
'display' property as follows:
* If the subject of the selector is a block-level element, allowed
values are 'none', 'inline' and 'block'. If the value of the
pseudo-element's 'display' property has any other value, the
pseudo-element will behave as if its value were 'block'.
Should 'inline-block' be added to that list of allowed values? It
seems to me that if you can make the generated content 'inline' and
'block', you ought to be able to make it a blend of the two. There
are cases in which it would be very useful, arguably even necessary.
