If you take a look at the CSS2 specs on w3.org you can see that the selectors can be pretty useful. http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/selector.html I was actually rather shocked at some of the things you can do with it. The conditionality for links is pretty cool. I don't really think that css is the hindering factor. It is the browser support for it. ~Suppose my otherwise ready-for-frying XML file contains ~ <xref url="www.microsoft.com">the gates of hell</xref> ~and ~ <figure url="somestupidpenguin.jpg"/> ~I never did understand how to explain via CSS that these ~are respectively a link and an inline image. is not CSS ~completely tied to the semantics of HTML elements? I believe you are correct here. I don't think that you can take an XML tag like <xref> and map it to an <a> with css. I believe you would have to convert to HTML first.
