It is a proposal that has evolved over the years based on feedback from
www-style posters.

The most complete proposal I could find is at the end of:
   http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2002May/0037.html
(Search for "updated".)

This post lists several examples of :matches() and its alternatives:

An earlier (earliest?) version of the proposal can be found in:
   http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/1999Nov/0241.html

None of these exactly represent what I would propose if I were to be
writing a proposal for CSS4 Selectors, but then I'm not entirely sure what
that would be myself.
