This mail just to say that in foo:matches(~bar), this not
the :matches that is the problem for computation but ~.
Consider this document:
<html>
<body>
<style><!--
header ~ * { color: blue; }
--></style>
long document.....
</body>
</html>
If we add a "header" at first element of body, we must
recheck the style of all elements.
The problem of :matches is that it's difficult for a browser
that use the reverted way to match CSS to maintain the
rule up-to-date. I'll work on this in the future.
When somebody get a clear idea on how maintain a
:matches rule in a reverted css match way, it will possible
to continue the defend the proposition, but not before since
at least two browsers use it.
