I was going to answer that yes, it did, but that :first-child didn't, but
then I noticed that :first-child is defined as being equivalent to
:nth-child(1), so that is a bit of an issue.
I would therefore assume that :nth-child() does _not_ match elements
without parent nodes, but the spec should indeed be updated.
