Seems fine to me. The ideal place for it would be inside $.expr[':']
but I'm not sure it fits.
$('*:data(foo)')
No place for the value. The other option (requires modifying/
overloading the core) would be:
$('*[:foo=bar]')
Where those ':' are some random character that identifies this. As a
generic solution, I think we could add another $.expr for characters
on this place.
So.. one could do (f.e)
$('*[~padding=0px]')
As a random way of selecting by style properties. Hopefully Sizzle
will allow this easily.
