Ah, indeed. In which case "the rules for matching pairs of (), [], {},
"", and ''" are not actually defined anywhere. ;)

But clearly some curly braces are excluded from this. For example:
[myAttr="{"] { color: green; }
should match:
<span myAttr="{"></span>
right? I _think_ the intent is that once you see a '(', '[', '{', '"',
or '\'' you must skip forward until either seeing another opening
delimiter (in which case you recursively start skipping), or until you
see the matching closing delimiter.
I agree this could be clearer.
