alexanderkjeldaas has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:
== [css-scoping] Replacement for >>> and /deep/, and ::shadow? ==
How should an app developer test an application using Web Components?
The combinators `>>>`, `/deep/`, and `::shadow` have been removed from Chrome.
The cited reason is that they break encapsulation in relation to styling. However, the CSS selector language is also exposed through `document.querySelector{,All}`, and there is no encapsulation argument to be made for the language exposed there.
The practical question is: Which query language can I use to click a button 20 levels deep into a forest of Web Components if not CSS?
Without these combinators, it seems like testing CSS component-based applications is degenerating into imperative programming where a test needs to know the exact layout of shadow DOMs, the complete opposite of what a selector language should provide, and far inferior to not using Web Components at all.
