I definitely agree with Dave that region styling this is a major implementation challenge. I also see that it is used a lot in print so it at least deserves attention. If/when it actually gets implemented... For syntax, of all options proposed to date I like the "@region-style" version the most. There are no new constructs or syntax extensions needed, and it also groups the related rules. In behavior I think it is really important to be as close to first-line line as possible. I would say if there is only one line in the first region, and there is any difference between "first-line" and "@region-style" (with same properties), it is a big problem. Would you agree? Thinking a bit more about whether region-style can be defined exactly as first-line... It seems obvious that it can on the first page. How about second page? I have not tried to make it work but it seems that it should work too... first-child aside, second page doesn't need to know that first existed. It is still hard to do, even if it can be defined. Don't expect broad comprehensive support soon... Alex
