Description Rolf Eike Beer 2012-07-31 20:35:18 UTC 
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/generate.html#content

Computed value:    On elements, always computes to 'normal'. On :before and :after, if 'normal' is specified, computes to 'none'. Otherwise, for URI values, the absolute URI; for attr() values, the resulting string; for other keywords, as specified.

But if you add some stylesheet like

a {content: ""}
p {content:none}

This is applied to the elements, i.e. they are rendered empty (modulo some other bugs). Tested with Opera, Firefox, and Chromium: Opera has same behavior as KHTML, the other 2 follow the spec.
