That is true but that means Safari and Firefox act in the reverse manner 
to Opera and IE.

Opera and IE matching of [att^=val], [att$=val] and [att*=val] without 
negation is correct due to the principles of mathematic. Perceiving 
infinite numbers of concatenations is like perceiving infinite number of 
repeating decimals (ei. 1/9 = 0.11111....).
