Yeah, I think that's dumb. Let's take a less theoretical example. Let's assume my host language is JavaScript. And I want to quote a Selector as a string. (I assume we want to have the same escaping rules for Selectors as we do for Media Queries.) You telling me that if I sent an argument to querySelector() that happened to have a backslash in it (dutifully escaped JavaScript-style as '\\' if I'm writing it as a literal), the backslash should magically disappear... or combine with the next character to turn into some random other character? ~fantasaiReceived on Monday, 24 December 2007 05:55:53 UTC
