Best practice of substring matching attribute selectors

For the reasons Guil stated for using these selectors, is it best practice to use them for those specific contexts or can they be tailored within the stylesheet at the author's discretion?

You're free to use this selector however you need or want to. It's just another way to specify a selector. As long as it's giving you the results you're looking for, you should be good to go!
