If there is a benefit, please consider adding a note to the draft explaining the benefit. The only benefit is one of brevity; if you have a longer selector, you'd have to duplicate the entire thing. As noted, though, |= predates ^=. Note as well that you shouldn't be using attribute selectors for the lang attribute; use the :lang() pseudo-class instead, as it handles some subtleties of language subtag matching better, and lets you match multiple languages at once. ~TJReceived on Wednesday, 3 September 2014 15:49:13 UTC
