“there are little things like browser title bar text; can that be styled too?”
– Philip Jones
The browser title is tag content, so until most browsers support the CSS3 content selector.. no, not really.
TECHNICALLY of cource it is possible, but then we hit browser limitations, as ever.
If you have the time you could put the CSS in there – forward compatibility if you like. It won’t do any harm, and means no more edits when its actually supported.
I think in principle this is a good idea for providing context dependent messages. However how would this strategy fair with search engines . Won’t they see the text? It wouldn’t be very helpful if the search engine picked up the text only for a user to visit the page and see that seemingly it wasn’t there. It sparks visons of text the same colour as the page background. Please correct me if I’m wrong, it’s just a concern I had.

Depends on how inportant it is to you I guess.
