Details

Want CSS3 Selectors implemented in mozilla. Of particular importance is the last-child pseudo class, followed by the subject pseudo class. May have potential uses in XUL widgets.
Um, CSS3 is not yet complete. Unless you have a magic crystal ball to tell the future, we cannot implement CSS3 selectors, since we don't know what they are.

Yeah, CSS3 isn't finish yet - and perhaps CSS3 selectors like :subject will change by the time CSS3 is finished, so it probably isn't wise to implement that just yet. However, since "last-child" pseudo class already has a corresponding "first- child" pseudo class in CSS2, I think there is an extremely good chance that this particular CSS3 selector will remain the same in the final recommendation. The implementation of "last-child" should be so similar to "first-child" there shouldn't be any design issues preventing it from being implementing now either. http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors.html
In that case file a bug for that separately. Note however that we have passed the feature-freeze stage so it won't be added in this release.
