It says where the >pseudo-element can be created. Interesting. I'd rather say that pseudo-elements *select* something that already exists (if it exists) and hence "attaching" pseudo-elements can only be something at the selector syntax level. >(As far as I can tell, this is just a more advanced form of the same >misconception that leads people to say "creating a class" when they mean >"writing a selector that matches an element with a class".) That's actually a quite accurate statement, since they invent (create) a new class (name), add it to the document and then use it to attach properties... A misconception though.
