Essentially the edit means that ]]A pseudo-element can be appended 
…[[ have been moved from the 'simple-selectors' paragraph two 
paragraphs below to the 'selectors' paragraph.

Great! I looked at the full draft and I make good sense of it now. 
I withdraw my other proposals.

Since this all started with when the "*" may be omitted: It would
