dbaron has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [selectors3] better terminology for ~ sibling combinator? == A [recent edit](https://hg.csswg.org/drafts/rev/20dedc56c691) changed the terminology for sibling selectors: > "Adjacent Sibling Combinator" -> "Next-sibling Combinator" > "General Sibling Combinator" -> "Following-sibling Combinator" I'm a bit hesitant about this change, because it doesn't seem obvious to me that "following" means "any later sibling". I think I occasionally hear the term "following sibling" as a synonym for "next sibling" rather than meaning "any later sibling". I wonder if there are better options here for the latter combinator. Maybe "Later-sibling combinator" would be better -- although I'm still not sure that it fully disambiguates.
