RE: CSS3 Syntax : or :: ?

Thanks both fantasai and Boris (Boris answered me privately). At first I wondered why the C-like
syntax addition, but now I understand. I am a bit concerned that those who learn by looking
at source - many of those who joined the Web did so - will see this :first-letter ::first-child
syntax as a typo rather than an intentional distinction in element type. But then, I can't really
recommend a better operator to use than ::

I'll do my part to teach on Hiveminds though ;o)

The proper syntax is with the double colon; . . .
