[att^=val] [att$=val] [att*=val] You (CSSWG) are saying that these are (now declared) valid but match 'nothing'. The existing implementations that support such attribute substrings show all the above as matching except for the last [att*=val] with one implementation. As I understand the retraction of Resolutions 2008-02-26 would indicate that now all implementations must change their existing behavior. Is this correct? I will support whatever is decided but I would like to know precisely what is being changed or what is being kept as current implementations behavior. Alan http://css-class.com/test/
