[css3-regions] @region or pseudo-element

Hello,

In last weeks telecon the question of @region syntax versus
pseudo-elements was raised again, and I've added an issue to the draft to
track it. The last time this was discussed [1] there was a distinct
preference for using @region. There's also the precedent for adding a
JavaScript interface to an @rule, which is now in the draft for @region
rules. And we have defined how getComputedStyle will work on the Region
interface for fragments that flow through a region.

My preference would be to close this issue with a resolution to use
@region. But if we can't yet get consensus on such a resolution, could one
of those who would object take an action item to produce a pseudo-element
syntax alternative?

Thanks,

Alan
