Description Nicholas Shanks 2007-03-24 17:43:13 PDT 
Nothing is rendered when the following CSS is applied:

img:before, img:after { content: " foo! "; }

I would expect to get " foo! [image] foo! ".

It's not defined yet.

See the note in section 12.1 in CSS2.1.

"Note. This specification does not fully define the interaction of :before and :after with replaced elements (such as IMG in HTML). This will be defined in more detail in a future specification."

Can't implement the behavior until we know what should happen.

P5 is not used for WebKit bugs. [http://webkit.org/quality/bugpriorities.html]

The WG discussed this at length, and decided that this should not be supported. Closing as WONTFIX.
