Re: [csswg-drafts] [selectors] consider preserving invalid selectors in :is() and :where() (#8356)

Probably, since the only reasonable use-case for `:is()` is "all the other selectors were dropped". But we could keep `:is()` working, if needed for compat.

> Isn't it also easier to serialize all selectors as is?

Not really, because then you need to preserve the specified string. Also it would be a pretty big behavior change (e.g. `.foo   /* whatever */       .bar` would serialize as-is rather than with whitespace normalized and comments removed.
