So what the fuck is the use case of [attr^=beginning]?
You can, for example, replace that:
a.article
{
color:blue
}
<a href="http://jsmith/article/1234" class="article">One</a>
<a href="http://example/article/4321" class="article">Two</a>
with that:
a[href/=/article/]
{
color:blue
}
<a href="http://jsmith/article/1234">One</a>
<a href="http://example/article/4321">Two</a>
