Subject: Re: Select a parrent node with s CSS selector?
Again it is possible to compute this but selectors that have exponential nature
are *highly* non-desirable.
Again, I understand the potential complexity, but don't remember the part of this group's terms of reference that limits discussion to non-exponential algorithms.
Processors are getting faster all the time. People have expressed a wish for such a selector. I fail to see why discussion of it is automatically out of scope.
People express many good wishes, say perpetuum mobile is just a perfect one.
Please define the scope. Is it scope of abstract selectors or the one that includes only feasible things?
