It's really not. The argument against "elements only" is that there's no additional work required, spec-wise, to make Regions work on pseudo-elements as well. We don't have very many pseudo-elements, and some of the features surrounding Regions simply won't work (like registering event listeners for those pseudos), but that's fine - the feature still *works* without having to add any extra complexity to the spec, and the missing parts can be added as we go along without interfering with existing code. Subgrid requires adding more complication to the layout algorithm, and we're not yet sure how to even do so. This is an additional chunk of complexity over and beyond the current spec. It's also separable, in that we can add it in the future without interfering with existing code. My position is definitely consistent. ^_^ ~TJ
