I think this is a little unhelpful. The short answer is no. To generate the movement of the text simulating a marquee would currently require client-side scripting, (i.e. Javascript) although css and xhtml would be required to create the box and mask.
The reason there are few references (published by credible web design/development sites) to creating a marquee is because it is not considered a palatable feature of the web (like the age old blink tag) and as Mr Doward below states is is more often than not a distraction from maybe more focal information, not to mention inaccessible if scripted. It could be an indication that you page's information layout needs adjusting if you find there is a neeed for a marquee. But now I'm off topic.

Oh boy. Scrolling text. A great distraction when you're trying to focus on another part of the page. This is the web, it isn't a small display with a lot of information and a lot of viewers - its a (generally) large display where each user has their own display and can move scrollbars about to see text! Anyway - you can have a marquee effect using JavaScript (which is beyond the scope of this mailing list, but gives you a starting point for searching). > I reed the Bert Bos article at W3C Working Draft ... > Without success.
