Re[2]: css with attribues (was: Re[2]: [CSS] Would be nice if...)

David,

DD> Yes it does. The user agent downloads the HTML document, which

What is "doesn't support CSS":
1) doesn't use for rendering ?
2) or doesn't use to specify attribute values ?

Nature of UA may be so, that it doesn't render at all -
so (1) is absolutely right in this particular case.
But (2) is not bound with nature of UA,
so there is no any restriction to use CSS to assign values for
attributes.

DD> The semantics that were placed in the optional

Many things are based on "presentation layer":
e.g. behaviour, pronunciation.

DD> We are dealing with Cascading STYLE Sheets here.
Ortodox-ness.

1) you object against new values for @type or @rel ? Why ?
2) you object against assignment of attributes in separate file ? Why ?
