Hi! As suggested by Daniel Glazman, I share here my thoughts about the ::first-word selector. Daniel rightly said that it’s not really possible to determine what a “Word” is, according to the language. But the ::first-letter already do this, defining a "letter", wich is not very clear too. To clarify this, the CSS3 Selectors spec refers to the Unicode Standard Annex #29 [1]. This document seems very complex to me, but it also contains a “Word Boundaries” section, which seems to defines exactly that. So my questions are: This section could it not be used to clarify what a “word” is? Otherwise, can’t a selector similar to “::first-chars-before-space” be used instead? I’m sorry for my bad english!
