> Might it be a better idea to let the markup language define how two elements are related
This would have the added benefit that the direction of the relationship didn’t matter, i.e. with the current draft you would do
label /for/ input {}
to select the form widget and
$label /for/ input {}
to select its label, whereas with UA knowledge of the markup language these could be, respectively,
label // input {}
input // label {}
> and have the reference combinator simply be "/"?
A double symbol enables it to work magically in most cases and makes it possible to add an explicit IDREF attribute where that fails.
In the wiki page <http://wiki.csswg.org/spec/selectors4> it was also suggested to use something like
label[for#] // input[id#] {}
to identify the source and target attributes. (It could be a single slash in this case.)
