There was indeed interest in supporting this, but we argued this would probably be something the author should opt into, rather than an automagic behavior. We resolved to drop it from level 3, and add in level 4 with an explicit switch. Minutes here: http://logs.csswg.org/irc.w3.org/css/2015-02-09/#e521655 Or was there some side discussion I missed? As for browsers already doing it in some cases, do you have a TC or something showing it? I haven't seen it, and I'd like to. - Florian
