> Per https://drafts.csswg.org/css-pseudo-4/#element-like all element-like pseudo-elements syntactically allow any other pseudo-element after them (just like elements do). Many of those pseudo-elements never match, just as for elements. https://drafts.csswg.org/css-forms-1/#picker-pseudo doesn't define it as an element-like pseudo-element, though? Thus it would seem the status quo is what https://drafts.csswg.org/selectors-4/#sub-pseudo-elements says: > Unless the corresponding [sub-pseudo-element](https://drafts.csswg.org/selectors-4/#sub-pseudo-element) is explicitly defined to exist in another specification, pseudo-element selectors are not valid when compounded to another pseudo-element selector. I can't see, following cross-references, anything that does explicitly define the sub-pseudo-elements to exist? -- GitHub Notification of comment by gsnedders Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/13590#issuecomment-4201790494 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
