The CSS WG published a Candidate Recommendation for the CSS Namespaces Module. A Candidate Recommendation is a stable specification in W3C's opinion, but one that still needs to see some use in real life before becoming a W3C Recommendation. http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/CR-css3-namespace-20080523 It defines the '@namespace' rule, which is the missing piece to make Selectors work in CSS, or at least those selectors that select elements by their XML Namespace rather then by their names or attributes. So please, start implementing! In this case, we actually believe many implementers have already implemented it, but we need to set up the test suite and test reports before we can be sure. We hope to have some test results as early as September. There were only few comments on the last working draft and all were accepted by the WG: http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-namespace/issues-2 More feedback is still welcome, on this mailing list, as usual: <www-style@w3.org>. Please, prefix the subject of all relevant messages with [css3-namespace] as I did on this message. Contributions to the test suite, test reports, etc. are also welcome. The preferred place for that is another mailing list: <public-css-testsuite@w3.org> The test suite will be based on (or maybe even the same as) the Selectors test suite: http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/#css3-selectors For the CSS WG, Bert -- Bert Bos ( W 3 C ) http://www.w3.org/ http://www.w3.org/people/bos W3C/ERCIM bert@w3.org 2004 Rt des Lucioles / BP 93 +33 (0)4 92 38 76 92 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France
