More or less so, I guess. But it doesn't really say it. It's obscure - for example, selectors don't really select attributes, do they? My point is that the formulation needs a clarification, which is best formulated as part of the very _definition_ of the meaning of attribute selectors, rather than a vague statement of what can or cannot be done. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
