However, it is done in a way that new pseudo-elements may only use the double colon syntax (and may only be recognized as valid in such) and the pseudo-elements that already existed (in CSS 2.1) can be used both ways. So although there was a syntax improvement, which now all major UAs that do pseudo-elements support, backwards compatibility was not broken and so versioning wasn't needed. > The change you're talking about was the separation of pseudo-elements > (:) and peudo-classes (::). Though I could be mixing the syntaxes up. It is the other way around. Pseudo-elements are denoted with a double colon. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/>
