I guess if you really do not know upfront what the document is going to look like you need it, but that seems extremely rare and far beyond the typical 80/20 we require for most features. And especially a feature as complicated as this one. E.g. having a :svg pseudo-class or some such would have done the trick as well. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
