(one of the authors) We agree with you. Yes it is being discussed. But you can do it now with Hitch. Our goal with Hitch isn't necessarily to create a new standard, as much as it is to influence the standards to move more quickly. Likewise with browser vendors.
I read in that blog article you mentioned :local-link. Hitch also supports this but with even more ability: http://hitchjs.com/describe/bkardell.links/1 http://hitchjs.com/describe/bkardell.links/1
We'd love all the feedback we can get. Thanks for taking a look.
- bkardell 14y ago(the other author) It is definitely worth noting too that this was first proposed and seriously discussed well over a decade ago now. The subject selector is inherently less powerful than the original (has) proposal, but even that got pushed out to selectors level 4 and (if you keep an eye on the lists) there is a very real possibility that it may get shoved to selectors 5. There are legit reasons for this, don't get me wrong - putting this natively in the browser opens a different can of worms. With Hitch, you "opt-in" and have the option to choose the features that you need. This means that the vast majority of sites can benefit from things that are problematic for the paradoxically hard cases (like the HTML living draft, single page edition with 135k+ and counting elements) -- and we think that is a good thing :)
- talmand 14y agoI wasn't actually saying anything one way or the other about your project, I was just making the comment that there were discussions of doing this directly in CSS.
