Then one of the user agent requirements for supporting the ::text pseudoselector would be that if a style sheet in the cascade used such a selector the browser would have to first patch together any text node that it had previously arbitrarily split. That would be a programming issue rather than a CSS issue, but it is good to know that user-agent programmers would have to look for it. There would need to be a way for programmers to intentionally construct such packets for testing purposes, but I would imagine that is doable. Hope this helps, Charles Belov SFMTA Webmaster
