Site authors who care already provide an id on the body as described in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2003Dec/0053.html The point of Chris's proposal, as far as I can tell, is that there would be a way to denote rules in the _user_ stylesheet as applying to a particular URI. The UA would then only apply them if the URI matched the current URI. There was no indication that this was supposed to be a technology targeted at authors, and I frankly fail to see how this sort of selector or @-rule or whatever would be that useful to authors (unless they want to include the same sheet in all parts of a site and only apply some of the rules in it to some parts of the site... but they can already do that now by changing the content or the set of sheets that are linked in). I merely pointed out that the UA-only technology Chris proposed is not as powerful as some other UA-only technologies could be. -Boris
