Geoffry,
I am not sure how to answer your question. I don't know if this is 
recommended or best practice. My issue is, I have a very large set of 
data (key,value)  in xml format. This xml file is to be displayed in the 
browser and edited. So, I need to put it in a table, and put the values 
an input tags. Now, there's other input tags in the page. I can 
customize the inputs the way I like using css. However, the tags for the 
fields to be edited are text boxes. And these text boxes input can  be 
generated in html without  giving the field type. While other inputs 
need type. So what I wanted is to format the text boxes, but not the 
buttons or other inputs. I know I can add a class attribute for anything 
I want, but considering the size of the file, and the amount of data, 
this will increase the download time.  Now that I tested it and 
completed the generation of the html using XSLT, I don't find it too 
bad. And I can happily live with it.

The idea of having a selector that selects an element without a specific 
attribute came from xpath. I work sometimes with xslt, and I find it 
very handy, and wondered if there's some similar functionality in CSS. 
For example in xpath you can do this (select="a_tag[not(@attr)]) and 
this will select  the element called a_tag that does not have attribute 
"attr" set.

Any way, my problem is resolved.
Thank you.
