Build ID: 20160328004018

Steps to reproduce:

Testcase
http://codepen.io/worg/pen/wGqBLd


Actual results:

The ::first-letter CSS pseudo-element rules aren't applied to the first element [the one containing a dash]


Expected results:

The CSS rules should apply to all elements
Component: Untriaged → CSS Parsing and Computation
Product: Firefox → Core
It seems CSS2 intentionally excluded the Pd class of punctuation (to which "dash" (002D) belongs).
https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/selector.html#first-letter

The relevant spec now says:
"Punctuation (i.e, characters that belong to the Punctuation (P*) Unicode general category [UAX44]) that precedes or follows the first typographic letter unit must also be included in the ::first-letter pseudo-element."

When this lands we should update the following text on the MDN page:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/CSS/::first-letter
"Punctuation, that is any characters defined in Unicode in the open (Ps), close (Pe), initial quote (Pi), final quote (Pf) and other punctuation (Po) classes, preceding or immediately following the first letter is also matched by this pseudo-element."

The new spec text is the paragraph that starts with: "Punctuation (i.e, characters that belong to..."
