Agreed. But perhaps there might be use cases of *::*, which should
include all elements and pseudo-elements all together, esp. for
non-inheritable properties, although I haven't thought of anything that
I would truly consider useful.

(If 'image-orientation' were not changed to be inheritable.

*::* { image-orientation: from-exif; }

might be useful maybe? Would *::* { clear: both; } be any of use? What
about *::* { box-decoration-break: clone; } ? )
