Assuming you mean http://www.w3.org/mid/973417226.20050622025741@w3.org Chris did not ask for endorsement of xml:id but to include text like If an implementation supports CSS 2.1 and also supports xml:id, then the xml:id attribute must be treated as an ID for the purposes of CSS selector processing. Chris proposed this text when Paul Grosso asked on www-style (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2005Apr/0316): Specifically, would it make sense for the CSS specification to state explicitly that attributes named xml:id will be treated as IDs when styling XML documents? The xml:id CR notes that "To the extent that a CSS operates on a tree constructed from an Infoset or PSVI, no change is required." Considering that CSS does not require implementations to operate conceptually on an Infoset or PSVI, I still worry that the proposed text is not redundant with existing xml:id and CSS 2.1 requirements; I've asked the XML Core Working Group to take a position on this; no resonse yet though... -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
