In CSS there are different ways to specify the same value. For example, I could specify the width of table as "5pc" or "60pt" which mean the exact same thing (12pt = 1pt). If I specify a selector table[width=60pt] will it still catch a table attribute whose previous style sheet specified its width as "5pc"? Or do I have to test each possible equivalent unit of measure (pc, cm, mm, in)? This is particulary important for the 5 or 6 different ways to specify color.

That's because it doesn't work in IE6. Unfortunately that's a deal-breaker for now. “This is probably one of the most under-used features in CSS, which is strange since it is pretty cool.”
