Hi.

This is a last call comment on the XBL 2 Editor’s Draft (dated 27
October 2006).

4.7.3 Matching Pseudo-Elements
==============================

  These pseudo-element descriptions are purely advisory, and while
  authors are encouraged to use them for their predefined roles, it is
  valid to use them for other purposes.

This seems to dilute the purpose of the pseudo-elements.  If general
purpose pseudo-elements are intended to be allowed, arbitrary names
should be valid.  These pseudo-element names may as well be called
pseudo1-pseudo5 as they stand.

The example in this section has:

  button.save-button::icon {
    content: url(icons/save.png);
  }

but the content property applies only to the :before and :after
pseudo-elements accorindg to CSS 2.1.


Thanks,

Cameron
