First:
Let's say for the selector:
html:with-child(a:hover) p
{
border: 1px solid green;
}
what would be the mechanism that does "only each one
that are applying on elements that are concerned by the rule"?
Second:
Consider these two selectors:
p
{
border: none;
}
html:with-child(a:hover) p
{
border: 2em;
}
and markup:
<html>
<p><a href="*">sample</a></p>
</html>
In such case selector above will never be true
if to assume that computation of selectors happens instantly.
On real world PCs with finite time needed for computation you
will see nice oscillation.
