So let's see: - This feature isn't in a mature specification - This feature is not even in a spec draft at all afaict (couldn't find it in Shadow DOM or Selectors editor's drafts) - No other browser ships it - No other browser even plans to ship it soon (notwithstanding your apparently inaccurate statement about Mozilla) - The relevant WG has disagreement over both the syntax and the semantics And you'd like to ship it within days and freeze it almost immediately. I find it surprising that this is considered consistent with the guidelines at <http://www.chromium.org/blink#compatibility>. Even if it somehow is, it seems to me the working group should not agree to freeze whatever syntax Chrome ships under these circumstances. Regards, Maciej
