Re: [csswg-drafts] Review HTML fieldset/legend spec

I bet the fraction of loaded pages that include a fieldset with a floating or absolute/fixed legend child _before_ a legend child that is neither floating nor absolute/fixed is _well_ below 0.001%, in which case it may be deemed web-compatible to simplify that aspect of the HTML Standard such that "rendered legend" becomes synonymous with matching `fieldset > legend:first-of-type` (and therefore addressable by [author-overrideable] default styles).

Especially when one considers that the current definition and special treatment of "rendered legend" depends upon computed CSS styles, and therefore can _change_ depending upon client treatment of and ability to access CSS. To see what I'm talking about, visit https://output.jsbin.com/bavowelixe in Firefox and use View > Page Style > No Style to disable the styles that exempt the fieldset's first legend.
