I think these are valid concerns, and I believe all browsers would
agree with you. For batch processors doing printed publications, it's
different -- they have a requirement to make these kinds of fixes at
the end of the production line.
I suggest we add text to this effect into the draft so that
- browsers/editors don't have to deal with it
- batch processors may deal with it
After all, we do want CSS to work in all places. Even in Russia :-)
