Re: [w3c/webcomponents] Which standard defines :defined (#665)

Of course, but they are allowed to give different definitions to how/when particular pseudo-classes match.

As I said, "so long as it has enough visibility for the correct implementors to know about it".  In practice, the "correct implementors" are CSSWG members.  So other specs can be the *home* for a particular pseudo-class’s definition, but the act of defining it still generally has to make at least a cursory pass thru the CSSWG.
