Re: CSS Generated content selection

Yes, but for printed media a table of contents with page numbers is a  
blessing, and there's no way to do that without using generated  
content (in fact prior to CSS3 there's no way to do it at all).

More to the point, CSS has been a W3C spec for 11 years now and  
there's no reason why even text-only browsers shouldn't support some  
of it (as elinks does, for instance).
