[big snip]


That said, attribute selectors are very useful.

Of course, and it's worth pointing out that:

h1[title^="main"] {color : blue;} , used with:

Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla

IS valid. It's not something I'd use though, whereas:

a[title^="opens"] {
  padding-right: 13px;
  background: url(outofit.gif) no-repeat right top;
}

seems good when used with:

onclick="window.open(this.href); return false;">Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla


Doesn't it?  (But not IE6 . . . )

Pretty likely. I'd say it's probably also an effect of the corporate-owned
hardware syndrome - as in, they may not have admin rights on their
workstations to change the browser. Students on the other hand probably own
their computers and can use whatever they like.
