Would they match against elements in the host's tree or the shadow tree?

Another reason why I think it should be a pseudo-element is that :host would make for a suitable pseudo-class to select host elements in a tree (elements that have an associated shadow root). That is, :host makes sense within the light tree, and ::host makes sense within the shadow tree. And given that a shadow tree can also be simultaneously a light tree due to nesting, we don't want to conflate the two. -- https://annevankesteren.nl/
