I looked at a bunch of other tests categorized as failure tests, and
many of them did seem to be tests that selectors didn't match (e.g.,
182, 155a, 155b, 155c, and 175b).  So I think this is ok.

(Perhaps 155d and 175c are incorrectly marked as a failure tests,
though.)

I think 27b is pretty clearly testing the descendant combinator --
that it doesn't combine to anything above the root element.

And I think 27a is testing something that's a clear conformance
statement for each of the selectors I put it under, whereas it's not
testing any conformance statements for :root.  I think it really
does belong in multiple places.  My main question was whether it's
better to list it in all those multiple places, or once, with a
special heading that indicates it belongs in all of them.
