Re: [csswg-drafts] Universal selector is described incorrectly (#8911)

Having said all that, perhaps they should be the same? For `getElementsByTagName()` and XPath there exists no syntactic distinction between `*` meaning all and `*` meaning an element named `*`. And even when we have more liberal element names as per https://github.com/whatwg/dom/issues/849#issuecomment-1091699961 you would not be able to name an element `*`. So on balance I think it makes sense if `*` and `\*` end up parsed in the same way.
