Not sure about that. Pseudo-elements are different from attribute nodes.
Even if we already think of future extensions to your ::attr(),
I still think that we could, for once, harmonize our syntax better with
what all other languages do. And using @ to note or select an attribute
became something rather universal... Again, for once, it's probably
worth consuming that extra delimitor.
