Has anyone ever suggested an actual extensibility mechanism for selectors like this? It's pretty trivial in jquery and looking at webkit code at least it seems like the basic idea is not so far off. Maybe just an attribute specifying one or more urls for plug-ins and then when a prefixed, unknown pseudo is encountered you could call out to the checker - obviously that may be slower than the compiled ones but given its position, this is more or less a simple test that merely says whether or not the rule should be applied. Something like that would allow people to shim very useful ideas (like -web-nth-match) or even develop new ones and see what the uptake is way earlier and with way less commitment from the browser manufacturers. -Brian On Thu, Aug 4, 2011 at 12:54 PM, fantasai <fantasai.lists@inkedblade.net> wrote: > On 08/04/2011 05:24 AM, Brian Kardell wrote: >> >> I noticed that there is a section a section about experimental >> selectors... >> I'm assuming that this idea would only hold up for pseudos but it doesn't >> say >> that.
