Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-highlight-api] Should priority be expressed on ::highlight instead of the Highlight object? (#4613)

There isn't any case in which the specificity differs betwee two rules with identical selectors. CSS has always defined that the following:

```
selector { /* declaration block 2 */ }
selector { /* declaration block 2 */ }
```

is equivalent to
```
selector { /* declaration block 1*/ /* declaration block 2 */
```
I don't think it's a good idea to change this invariant.

Imho the way declaration blocks are split into style rules is a tool for the author to organize the style sheet; we shouldn't try to turn it into a semantic concept.
