Hi Jirka, all would it be OK to add some guidance about this to the CSS selectors section? E.g. replacing the note at "As of writing the working group has no implememtation commitment for CSS selectors. If this doesn't change CSS selectors will be marked as feature at risk for the candidate recommendation draft." with "The working group will not provide a CSS selectors based implementation; nevertheless there are several existing libraries which can translate CSS selectors to XPath, so that XPath selectors based implementations can be used."
