Re: [csswg-drafts] [selectors-4] List of -webkit- legacy aliases (#7257)

The CSS Working Group just discussed `[selectors-4] List of -webkit- legacy aliases`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLUTION: Add :-webkit-* prefixed things in appendix of selectors 4.`
* `RESOLVED: Add :-webkit-autofill in an appendix of selectors 4.`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;dbaron> Topic: [selectors-4] List of -webkit- legacy aliases<br>
&lt;dbaron> github: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7257<br>
&lt;ntim> q+<br>
&lt;florian> the later<br>
&lt;tantek> q-<br>
&lt;dbaron> fantasai: We have a bunch of :-webkit- pseudo classes and things that we may need to add to selectors spec.  ??? has come up. Questions are (1) do we define this in selectors 4 spec (2) other aliases to add or (3) do we incorporate these into definitions of each pseudo, or do we put them in an appendix at the end.<br>
&lt;Rossen_> ack tantek<br>
&lt;Rossen_> ack ntim<br>
&lt;dbaron> ntim: Isnt' there a web compatibility spec that defines a lot of CSS prefixes?<br>
&lt;dbaron> fantasai: And the editors prefer that we'd define them in the relevant specs.<br>
&lt;ntim> https://compat.spec.whatwg.org/<br>
&lt;dbaron> s/And/Yes, and/<br>
&lt;dbaron> florian: That spec is meant as a stopgap for things not spec'd in their native space.<br>
&lt;dbaron> florian: In general: preferably get rid of them.   If we can't, spec them.  Appendix is a good way to spec without encouraging adoption.<br>
&lt;dbaron> Rossen: main question was should webkit prefixed things go in selector 4 spec.<br>
&lt;dbaron> fantasai: Sounds like add as appendix to selectors 4.  Do we add :-webkit-autofill specifically?  Are there others?<br>
&lt;dbaron> RESOLUTION: Add :-webkit-* prefixed things in appendix of selectors 4.<br>
&lt;tantek> I know we're over time, but I'm not seeing a reason to duplicating the list from the compat spec<br>
&lt;dbaron> RESOLVED: Add :-webkit-autofill in an appendix of selectors 4.<br>
&lt;fantasai> tantek, compat doesn't have a list of selectors<br>
&lt;tantek> s/duplicating/duplicate<br>
&lt;fantasai> and also, they'd prefer we move things here<br>
&lt;fantasai> iirc<br>
