This is the one listed on modernizr's no BS list
https://github.com/thingsinjars/jQuery-Scoped-CSS-plugin it is one of the
two or three that I looked at way back... It has 37 github stars and 2
forks too, so I think it's safe to say it's had some use.  Again, I think
these should use data-scoped or x-scoped as there are no native
implementations and recently even moves to delay that part of it - so I
think this is a prollyfill if it can be done.  I say if because we haven't
defined/discussed fidelity or how we'd do things like this... So far we
have briefly touched on tags, JS APIs and CSS - this is an attribute on a
tag, related only to CSS :) so it's a bit different.  My biggest concern
previously was that if selector specificty gets very obviously hosed to the
point where if it were implemented natively exactly according to the draft
as written today and you removed the prefix everything would horribly break
- then the fidelity is pretty low and potentially not worth doing... In the
very least, we need some kind of way to note those sorts of expectations
for prollyfills as they are (always) "experimental".
