@ represents an attribute, so @rel=tag means @rel tag with the value ‘tag’. The most advanced I've seen it get in general discussion is of the form [EMAIL PROTECTED], which means ‘element named foo with an attribute bar with value ‘sheep’.

Technically, in CSS, that would be written as foo[bar=sheep]. :P

Indeed, although in XPath [EMAIL PROTECTED] is correct. Actually, you raise a good example since CSS allows you to say foo[bar~=sheep], (note the tilda), which is correct for matching the substring contents of string separated list attributes like class and rel.

I will be happy to chip in on documenting this in the Wiki, but my todo list is really busy so I might not get round to writing something of any quality for too long. If someone else is able to start it I'll try and chip in.
