As was stated earlier in the the thread by me and Florian, we recognize that this would be a useful capability, but it's also fundamentally impossible to square away with the Selectors+properties model; it's intrinsically circular (you can use the pseudoclass to apply styles that make the pseudoclass no longer apply), and so can't reasonably be worked around. Seemingly-similar cases, like Element Queries or the :hover pseudoclass, actually have important distinctions that allow us, with effort, to break the circularity and allow them into the language. This is not true for an overflowing pseudoclass. I'm going to close this issue, as there's nothing further that can be productively said. -- GitHub Notification of comment by tabatkins Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2011#issuecomment-774190135 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
