Because that section explains the "loop effect" with :-xbl-bound-element  
and :-xbl-binding...

Lets say that UA A drops a selector like `foo bar::value` normally because  
::value isn't supported. Is is it required to add that support for that  
pseudo-element because of XBL?

The basic problem is that listening for specific events is not guarenteed  
to work cross-platform given that some devices might not dispatch certain  
events, like some of the mouse events...
