Indeed, and I would bet that most authors using this method don't understand *why* their pages seem slow, and don't realise there is another option. Put yourself in the authors position, and imagine you are using a fairly complex layout. You've then used a valid (straight from the spec) selector, and suddenly your pages take longer to render. Why would a browser maker implement that? It just doesn't seem right... Kind regards, -Alastair
