Re: [csswg-drafts] [selectors4] Name the “functional pseudo-class like :matches() with 0 specificity”

TLDR: Thank you so much

I predict `:where()` will lead to a new enlighten age of reset/base, classless, css libraries like https://github.com/mblode/marx and similar. In conjunction with the data attribute and other attribute selectors there will be a trove of options now to reset stuff without doing ANY harm.

I love that the WG got through with it eventually and even picked a functional/semantic name (where over nil). There will be new reset stylesheets that won't interfere with any specificy issues and we will finally have a nice base to cover all different browsers and OS platforms. Obviously properties that affect form widgets (like appearance), outlines, highlights, scrollbars, overscrolling/touch etc. are now things that need to be resolved as quickly as possible so that it becomes easy to reset everything, or - everything but form controls, scrollbars, overscrolling etc.

Thank you so much:
