I see your point, but i fear that if that is taken to far it seems like a bit of a slippery slope to a meta-css language (i may well be wrong about that though). However, my preference was to allow the above to "work". If you stated that all elements with a content value were to be considered replaced, what would break? When the author uses a combination of text and imagas and tries to scale it at the same time, it might be ok with a UA dependant resolution since it such an edge case. Using :before/:after nested with content values that themselves are somehow similar to document tree children does seem like a bit of an overkill to me. I really would hate the suggestion that we need a new selector for selecting parts of a content value...(oops to late). /Staffan
