Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-shadow-parts-1] Can class name selectors apply to a part? (#3431)

No, this isn't possible, by design.

The point of ::part is to hide the internal details of the component, and expose only exactly the parts the component author explicitly wants to. Random classes are an internal detail; there's no telling what use the component author has for them, or whether they're appropriate for outside code to use.

One can give a single element multiple part names, and differentiate state based on that. I also *thought* that you could do, say, `::part(one two)` to select only elements with both part names, but it turns out you can't; that's probably something we want to add, so you can more easily add a "selected" part name in your example, and then use `::part(tab-button selected)`.

@fergald , what do you think?
