I really don't like a 'not-' prefix as a generic modifier.
What about a suffix pseudo-class?
p:contains("foo"):not
"selects element p not containing 'foo'"
a[href^='http://www.w3.org']:not
"selects element a with href not starting with 'http://www.w3.org'"
p:subject > a:not
"selects element p with no child 'a'"
h1:subject + p:not
"selects element h1 with no adjacent sibling p"
a:hover:not
...
I think it makes small sense to say for negating attribute selectors you use
this syntax for negating pseudo-classes use that syntax, for negating type
selectors use again another syntax.
