Nah they'd just wonder why you can't write a proper web site like everyone
else.

As Invisible says it's one of those old ones that never got used because
certain well-used browsers never implemented it. It also takes an attr()
so you can pull an attribute from the element and present it. So you could
have every <acronym> element end with the title attribute for instance. It
gets even better with CSS3 as that allows styling by type of link so you
can do things like:
a[href$='.pdf']:after { content: " (PDF)"; }
and every pdf link will add that content to the end of the link
automatically.
I mean it's only taken, what, 12+ years to get to this level :-)

Or rather, "no browsers on Earth actually implemented it at all".

I'm still waiting for the day when you can take an ordinary <table>
element with no special markup, and style is so that each row as an
alternating background colour. :-P
(Currently the only way to do this is to assign different style classes
to each row.)

Off the top of my head I don't know which browsers support :nth-child(),
but I'm betting the latest releases of IE don't. Tum te tum oh yes what a
surprise it doesn't; the latest versions of Firefox do though so you can
use it if you want.

I hadn't even heard about :nth-child. (What, still no :last-child yet?)
That still doesn't help me style a table with some arbitrary number of
rows, where I want the odd rows blue and the even rows yellow.

We're cross-threading here so I'll just repeat tr:nth-child(odd){} Oh and
nth-last-child() will select elements backwards, but besides there is a
:last-child. All hail CSS3.

And, uh, how many years will it be before any browser anywhere starts to
implement CSS3?

It's even weirder than that: If the CSS is a seperate file (like it
normally is), this doesn't work. But if it's inline inside the HTML
file, then it *does* work. (!)
Presumably because the character stream inside the <style> element in
the document head has entities expanded during parsing.

meanwhile, I'd output <tr class="odd"> and style that with ".odd {}"
