If you mean that the /selectors/ in CSS3-UI only apply to form elements, that would solve some problems but not all of them. For instance, it wouldn't solve the problem of an <input readonly> element matching :read-write in an editor. It also wouldn't solve the problem of disabled controls matching :read-only. Remember that :read-only and :read-write are defined with regards to "user-alterability" and not by any definition of read-only or read-write in XForms or HTML. > There's a big split between forms (the "Application" part of a web page) > and non-forms (the "Document" part of a web page).

I recall someone suggesting a :control selector or something similar, if that's what you mean. While this could be useful in some cases, it doesn't solve specific problems I'm trying to address.
