Yeah, that might make sense. It would mean that :column(3) would select cells in the third column in the markup, as opposed to in the rendering, but I expect that's probably ok. It would mean that not-over-the-wire scenarios where UAs do not have knowledge of the language being used are disadvantaged, but that's not a big problem. (Over-the-wire scenarios don't have this problem since you should never send unknown languages over the wire.) -- Ian Hickson )\._.,--....,'``. fL U+1047E /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,. http://index.hixie.ch/ `._.-(,_..'--(,_..'`-.;.'
