:matches pseudo-class (Re: Nested and non-nested elements: pseudoclasses)

Such a proposal has been made. The syntax wasn't clear yet, but I 
thought it looked like:

   <foo><bar/></foo>

   foo:matches(bar){
    background:lime
   }

You will probably not see this in CSS3 tough. Maybe in CSS4 or as UA 
extensions.
