The implication of :scope has to be done on a per complex selector
basis, rather than applied to the entire list. That would be equivalent to:
elt.findAll(":scope div span, div :scope span")

Selectors in selector lists are always independent of each other, so
authors who use a selector list would likely assume that one doesn't
affect how another in the list matches. It would seem far more
confusing for authors to do it using the other alternatives.
