Re: Using Shadow DOM @host rule with :scope pseudo-selector

In reading [1] more closely, I see that @host rules are not matched
starting at the host element, but *specifically* to the host element.

In that sense, it does not make sense for @host to establish a context
scope, because @host { :scope { … } } is redundant at best.

Regards,

Dominic
