1. CSS WG members, who are true maniacs and collect newspapers, books,
restaurant menus and dozens of other print materials all around
the world (I am _not_ kidding) have almost never seen need for those
pseudos.
2. the implementation cost of these pseudos is very expensive.
3. the specification cost of how these pseudos really work - and I
remind you that something that _looks_ simple like the ::first-letter
pseudo is in fact very complex and the CSS WG spent incredible
amounts of time on it - is very expensive too.
So: extremely narrow user base, high cost and complexity.
Conclusion: rejected.
Is that clearer ?-)
