 The ::outside pseudo-element was cut from css3-content and has not been tracked since. Other pseudo-elements concepts like wrapping a range of elements have been discussed from time to time. Additional pseudo-elements with more control over where they are positioned in the tree could help reduce markup clutter where elements are added to HTML for the sole purpose of CSS styling ([[http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2011Dec/0463.html|Markup Clutter thread]]) ([[http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Jul/0160.html|Thread discussing wrapping multiple elements]]).

-Another issue is that there is very little scripting access to pseudo-elements currently. If we end up relying on pseudo-elements for wrappers or for inserting presentational boxes there should be a way to attach event handlers to pseudo-elements: [[http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012Feb/0626.html|post with use cases for interaction in layout]]+One issue is that there is very little scripting access to pseudo-elements currently.
