Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-selectors] Improve the usefulness of specificity of Tags & IDs (#4690)

@ThomasGutmann everything we do here has to be backwards-compatible. We can introduce new features that are unknown in older browsers, but we can't change the behavior of existing CSS syntax. So to that extent, everything we do has to _work around_ what already exists.

There would be ways to work around compatibility problems, by introducing new selector syntax – but I would expect that to have the same issues we're facing with `>>` and `~~` (which try to address the same problem in a different way). See #8380 

(More generally, I would recommend opening new issues for a proposal like this, and linking to prior discussions where they are relevant)
