That's what I would expect to happen, but if WebKit or any other UA
treats it as universal selector, then I can't say that the spec is
completely clear about it.
In the table at the start of section 5.1, the E[foo] etc. entries are
presumably to be interpreted as meaning “the token value after
processing escapes is E/foo”[*1], which would suggest that the ‘*’ in
the first line should also be interpreted as “the token value after
processing escapes”.
[*1]: Unless we interpret them as literally "E", "foo" etc. examples,
in which case the meaning of the selector "p" wouldn't be defined.
Section 5.3 does say “written "*"”, but note that much the same direct
wording is also taken for things like rgb() syntax, which is allowed to
be written with escapes. [At least, all UAs I've tested allow it to
use escapes, and that seems like the right thing given that the
FUNCTION token can use escapes.]
pjrm.
