I, member of the CSS WG, respectfully disagree. Having CSS, XBL, Selectors API, the CSSOM, and HTML 5 each define their own parsing rules for Selectors Level 3 seems suboptimal in so many ways. The most widespread implementations of Selectors Level 3 will support CSS, XBL, Selectors API, the CSSOM, and HTML5 and requiring them to have five different ways of parsing Selectors seems just outright wrong. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
