Hi. This is a last call comment on the XBL 2 Editor’s Draft (dated 27 October 2006).
2.8 The xbl:pseudo Attribute ============================= The list of valid pseudo-elements seems very arbitrary and widget oriented. XBL 2 is not only going to be used for widgets. The feature seems like a great way to expose abstractions of the shadow tree for styling by users of the binding, but to be even more useful I think arbitrary psuedo-element names should be allowed. A binding for bar charts could then expose a pseudo-element called series1, series2, etc., so that individual data series could be coloured using CSS. To avoid problems with forward-compatibility (as mentioned in 4.7.4), it could be required that such “custom” pseudo-elements be specified only with the vendor prefix format. The valid pseudo-elements are “value”, “choices”, “label”, “repeat-item”, and “icon”. Future versions of CSS might introduce new values. Is that meant to say “Future versions of XBL”?
