However, (with an accessibility hat on), shouldn't this be accessible via the HTML? Wouldn't an animated gif (with a width set in EMs and appropriate alt text) be better for this purpose? (Ignoring the WAI guideline that says "don't use blinking/flashing content" for the moment ;) Assuming it was implemented, I can't imagine using it, as it would look strange. If it did the same thing as the first-letter, applying typographical effects would do things to the last letter, which doesn't make much sense when reading. Even assuming there were theoretical uses, I certainly wouldn't prioritise this in the same league as getting things like CSS3's layout ready and out the door, or providing a selector for text nodes: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2006Jul/0062 -Alastair
