This discussion assumes that the CSS is modifying the source tree, and thus generating mutation events, and thus selectors affect different elements. If that were the case, your conclusions would be correct. Instead, CSS is implicitly generating a result tree. The source tree is not modified. The infoset does not change. No DOM mutation events are generated. > This > means you don't know what the browser-result will be. The browser may > choose how to render the result.
