    <thetext>The specification is currently lose about whether or not pseudo-elements can have the flow-into property:

===
The ‘flow-into’ property does not apply to the ::first-line and ::first-letter pseudo-elements.

The effect of ‘flow-into’ on generated content such as ::marker, ::before and ::after is undefined. This may change depending on implementation feedback.
===

It seems it would be better to disallow flow-into on pseudo-elements because a) it can break the model of some pseudo elements (e.g., ::before would no longer be &apos;before&apos; its element&apos;s content if moved to a flow) and b) it causes issues with the object model&apos;s NamedFlow.getContentNodes() which assumes that all that can be flown into a region is a Node (and there is no Node API to pseudo-elements).

The recommendation is to strictly disallow flow-into on all pseudo-elements.</thetext>
