What makes you so sure? It seems to imply a pseudo-class, but not any
particular pseudo-class, and maybe in the future there will be a more
appropriate one to use with a naked colon at the beginning. Is there
any problem (other than length), with being more specific, such as:
elm.querySelector(":reference > em, :> strong, :reference +code");

Also more confusing, as double colons are associated with pseudo-
elements, not pseudo-classes.
