Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-pseudo-4] ::selection vs ::inactive-selection (#4579)

Following up on the discussion in today's call (which didn't get posted because of bot issues, but we can copy it in once Dael has tidied up the minutes):

Testing the default browser selection styles on my system, both Chrome and Firefox on Windows switch to the inactive selection style when you move focus between a main document and an iframe.

So this (the inactive state for selection styling) is definitely different from Page Visibility API hidden state, although it still seems consistent with the `document.hasFocus()` state.

Neither browser I tested drew an inactive selection for selected text in a text area when the text area no longer had focus (although they remembered the selection for when the element regained focus again). So I don't know if there's a use case for an element-level “inactive” state for styling.
