I agree with this, clearly this should be defined that the matching
occurs as if each of the parts in the group had been prefixed by a
selector matching the context node and only the context node and a
descendant combinator, so e.querySelector("x") would just be short
for ...querySelector("... > *:nth-child(a) > ... > *:nth-child(n) x")
or equivalent.
