Can you say why not, specifically? 

It is not so much about the selector as what is selected. There are many properties that have different effects on replaced content, like images, than on other things, so those are cases where the effect of the property depends on what is selected. 

And even :hover causes the properties to act differently than they do if the element is selected normally. If :hover can mean "don't apply the effects if the cursor isn't over element", then I don't know why :first-of-page cannot mean "don't apply to the global name, but apply to a page-local name only".
