When taking those pseudo-classes out of the CSS working group’s control, there are some problems that I can see, mainly with naming: 1. It is desirable that there is unity in the pseudo-classes that are used. E.g. :checked must be applicable both to HTML Forms and XForms. 2. CSS is not namespaced. Therefore, there can be only one authority assigning names, or there *will* be conflicts. That authority is the CSS WG, except for when it concerns vendor-specific extensions which are prefixed with - or _. ~Grauw -- Ushiko-san! Kimi wa doushite, Ushiko-san nan da!!
