Thanks for pointing out missing backwards compatibility. The double '::'
is CSS3 syntax for pseudo elements[1]. Although still a Candidate
Recommendation parts of this CSS3 Module are already quite reliably
supported by a variety of user agents.
Choosing the CSS3 profile the files actually validate, e.g.
<http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://www.j-a-b.net/info/css-test/content-1.xhtml&warning=2&profile=css3&usermedium=all>
I have now included a CSS2 version of the tests, which, not surprisingly,
give the same results.
Cheers,
