Fun with CSS 2.1

[Toby A Inkster]

Opera 7.2 is the only browser that can display this one yet. Valid XHTML
1.1 plus CSS 2.1 (as per the *expected* recommendation).

Doesn't look particularly clever, until you look at the source.

I saw it with 7.11. Very nice. I really like that browser.

| User agents must ignore the following properties with :before and
| :after pseudo-elements: 'position', 'float', list properties, and table
| properties.

Rijk van Geijtenbeek who is a colleage of Hakon Wikum Lie who is writing
the CSS 2.1 spec says:

: I've been told that this line:
: "User agents must ignore the following properties with :before and
: :after pseudo-elements: 'position', 'float', list properties, and table
: properties."
:
: .. will be changed in the final CSS 2.1. So Opera is anticipating this.
