May I remind you that we managed to style the whole DocBook (including complex functionprototypes in refentry) and the whole DITA with the level of CSS support XXE has today, and this, despite the important bug you have reported. > I have worked in other projects, > and my experience is that users simply don't give a sh*t about bugs > that are not getting into their way firmly.

Just what > chance do you see a such thing being realized and reported? That's right. 99.9% of the users will not take the time to wonder what's wrong, find the cause of the problem and file a bug. But that leaves us with 0.1% of users having your profile. Of course, 0.1% of the ~50 users[*] we have worldwide, makes 0 user! > But it's > still an annoying bug, even if almost nobody will realize it's a bug, > and not something we inherently must live with, because CSS is like > that.

And, as always, we'll do *our* *best* to fix it ASAP. Once again, thank you very much for your bug report and also, for your interesting insights about XXE. --- [*] I'm saying this because you seem convinced that XXE is still an immature software which, like all immature software, has a very small user base.
