====== Selectors Level 3 ======

(This page needs some organization, just dumping some info atm.)

Need to clarify whether the 'xml' prefix is pre-declared.

<bz> ideally, how would we _specify_ first-line?
<code>
  p::first-line { color: green; float: left }
  p { float: none }
  span { float: inherit }
  <p><span>Text</span></p>
</code>
<bz> What's the rendering?\\
<elif> bz: you're not allowed to specify float on first-line\\
<@bz> elif: sure you are\\
<@bz> elif: it just has no effect... on the first-line\\
\\
<@bz> elif: for what it's worth, the only sane proposal I've heard to deal with that so far...\\
<@bz> elif: is that the "kids" of the first-line only inherit default-inherited properties from it\\
<@bz> elif: and not default-reset ones\\
<@bz> elif: so in our impl we would need to have two different parents on the same style context\\
<@bz> elif: one for reset props, one for inherit\\
<@bz> elif: as a start.\\
\\
< elif> bz: p::first-line {direction: rtl}\\
< elif> have fun :)
