:first-letter and :before in CSS2

[Charles Samuels]

Is :first-letter supposed to match text created by :before { content: } ?

If the standard doesn't say so explicitly, and arguably:

According to http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/selector.html#first-letter 
	"The first letter of a table-cell or inline-block cannot be the first letter 
of an ancestor element"

Implies that <div><span:before>F</span>irst letter</div> implies that it 
wouldn't match.

Can I assume that it doesn't match because it'd be easier to implement? :)
