Re: [csswg-drafts] [selectors3] better terminology for ~ sibling combinator?

Tangent: you have an interesting notion of "recent", @dbaron, since that edit was from 2012. ^_^

@dbaron: Are you okay with @SelenIT's suggestion of subsequent? I think it suffers from the same problem as "following", but it's my favorite suggested so far, at least. ^_^

I'm unsure that *any* single word would solve your concern 100% unambiguously; they can all be interpreted as "the immediate sibling" as well.  We'd have to go with multiple words to be fully unambiguous, I think.

That said, I do think the words we are using now are a definite improvement over the pre-2012 terminology of "adjacent" and "general", which don't convey directionality.
