As far as I can tell, there is no way to do what you ask. In the CSS selector specification, the channel symbol is used for something else when used with attribute selectors. It is used as a namespace delimiter.
In the selector specification on the W3C:
CSS : , , " " (|). XML, , , ( "| attr"; , , "). .
CSS examples:
@namespace foo "http://www.example.com";
[foo|att=val] { color: blue }
[*|att] { color: yellow }
[|att] { color: green }
[att] { color: green }
att "http://www.example.com" "val".
att ( ).
