It appears to be replacing that convention with a nearly identical one. Rather than -browser-foo, you have browser|foo. I'm not seeing any particular benefit here. > * It would allow custom pseudo elements to be declared and used within XBL 2.0. At the moment it predefines a number of 'generic' pseudo elements http://www.w3.org/TR/xbl/#matching1 which is fine but it would be better if binding authors could define their own custom elements with names that are more specific to their binding. As Anne said, we can solve this problem for XBL by just introducing a new pseudoelement. Extra complexity atop that isn't necessary. ~TJ
