Yet what you describe is a pseudo-element, not a pseudo-class.

That is two pseudo-elements attached to one simple selector (or sequence of simple
selectors, in the forthcoming terminology). It is invalid as things stand. We could make
an exception, I suppose, for 'every-line' pseudo-elements.

I would like to see more use cases. I have no desire for the generated line affix feature,
so I am apathetic toward your proposal. If the implementation support exists, that is
great and I say, go ahead. If the implementation support is absent or sketchy, that is
bad and I say, pull the feature.
Well, I suppose that we have the Candidate Recommendation stage to answer such
questions.
