    My feeling is that the spec should explicitly permit structural 
pseudo-classes, :not, and :lang.
    I may have argued otherwise in the past, can't remember now, but I 
feel like the UI element states are similar enough in concept to the 
dynamic states that they should be disallowed together.  Also, as 
pointed out, :target makes no damn sense unless we're aiming for some 
kind of linkception.
    We could invert the proposal by listing what's forbidden, but I 
prefer to list what's acceptable, for reasons of both philosophy and 
clarity.
