Re: [csswg-drafts] When using @import scope(), are the imported styles 'nested'? (#11756)

@romainmenke I don't think I understand what you are trying to do. I don't see what that achieves, and I'm not sure the logic is quite right. But I also think we need to agree on the most useful CSS behavior, before we spend too much time worrying about how to polyfill it?

Currently, selectors at the top level of a CSS document are not 'relative' to anything. They can't, for example, start with a combinator. Nested selectors are relative to the parent selector. Relative selectors often start with a combinator:

```css
> h2 { /* not a valid selector */ }

main {
  > h2 { /* nesting makes it valid, with implied `&`  */ }
}
```
The first selector here is currently invalid if we apply the stylesheet directly. Would it suddenly become valid when the stylesheet is imported with nesting applied?
