Re: [csswg-drafts] [selectors] :visible pseudo-class for targeting only visible elements (#5827)

My little case that (maybe?) triggered this.

Authored HTML:

```html
<div class="book">
   <img src="" alt="">
   ...
</div>
```

CSS:

```css
.book :first-child {
  /* size the image */
}
```

Production HTML:

```html
<div class="book">
   <script src="third-party-performance-thing.js"></script>
   <img src="" alt="">
   ...
</div>
```

So that CSS now fails because it's targeting the wrong thing. Obviously can be worked around, but this CSS might be more resilient?

```css
.book :first-child:visible {
  /* size the image */
}
```
