I would prefer to see it in the Selectors spec, but it would have to come out of CR for that. Perhaps the editor of the Selectors spec (Hixie) would like to weigh in.

I agree, :scope seems more elegant, and parallel methods can't handle the "> span" immediate children use case very nicely. Regards, Maciej
