Description Anton P 2012-01-02 20:26:56 UTC 
Reported by Boris Zbarsky

12.2 (The 'content' property) [http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/REC-CSS2-20110607/generate.html#content] fails to define sufficiently the processing model of the 'content' property.  For example, nothing says that "content: 'x' 'y'" should render with the "x" before the "y".

Needs discussion; is it sufficient to define this in CSS3 and leave things as they are in CSS21?  (The same mailing list thread raises other issues that will be more explicitly defined in CSS3, such as the replaced/non-replaced nature of images in generated content.)
