I hadn't realized the ::outside pseudo was real; I thought in Stanimir's example:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2003Oct/0356.html

dt::outside {
   /* specify that the ::before or ::outside would group the DT and
    * some elements after, in some way (using some syntax) */
}

That he had invented a new pseudo. Outside seems very appropriate for creating a parent anonymous box outside a group, then.

It's also perfect for the multi-background scenario. Thanks.

Now we just need CSS3 to be complete... .
