The document architecture I am testing with XXE currently uses DTDs (and
soon will use Schemas) to associate a hardcoded (but not fixed) CDATA class
value with each XML element. I can see these implied values in the
attribute editor window--they appear to be present for the editor to use
for class-based CSS styling. But I find that I can only get the editor to
trigger CSS rules for attribute values that have been literally typed in,
not for the values implied by the DTDs. I do not know of any editor that
provides such support. >>Would it be reasonable to add implied-value
triggering capability to XXE?
Also, I find that I am unable to make use of the substring class match
capability of CSS. Given an arbitrary element having an attribute class="
fred sam irving ", this selector should trigger on that element:
*[class~="fred"] { }
A hit is based on exact match of space-delimited tokens. Some XML
browsers, particularly Mozilla and Opera, seem to handle this form of CSS
selector rule correctly. As it is in XXE, nothing happens, for either a
literal or implied class value of " fred sam irving ". >>Is substring
class matching beyond any planned style support for XXE?
