The use case here would be reading through a document and highlighting what is being read. Suppose you want to highlight the paragraph in question, or if you want to highlight the section in question. The `:current` form is, in effect, contrasting with `:past` and `:future`. The `:current()` form lets you get at the particular element you might want to style when you have a recursive structure, because it's sensitive to nesting structure. Having `:current` only map to the innermost element that is current isn't particularly useful, because people put all kinds of markup for all kinds of different purposes, and you almost never want the actually innermost element. (You could get it with `:current(*)`. But it's not very useful.)
