Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-cascade-6] Strong vs weak scoping proximity (#6790)

> [#](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/6790#issuecomment-959733391) I think the proposed "scoped descendant" combinator has an obvious answer - it has to be weak (less than specificity) or else it'll be _incredibly_ confusing.

Yes. The story so far has always been that combinators don’t influence specificity, and I think it should be kept that way. The "scoped descendant" combinator should have no influence on it.

> [#](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/6790#issuecomment-1407017151) Various people have explored this, and we've consistently come to the same conclusions.  Can we either get a counter-example to discuss, or resolve on the direction that has vastly more support, so that this feature can move forward?

A reason might be https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/8500#issuecomment-1448243790. I think the outcome of that issue and this issue are tied together.
