Ah. Is Selectors Level 5 in the works? If so, is there a list of
selectors being considered for inclusion in the draft?

I'm not sure that link relates to the combinators I mentioned. Someone
proposed the previous sibling combinators that basically look in the
opposite direction of the preceding sibling combinators, + and ~. I
find myself wishing these existed on just about every UI project I
work on. That way I could change content styling depending on if that
content is followed by a footer or pagination for example.

Other selectors I am interested in:
:only-whitespace, see :-moz-only-whitespace, similar to :empty (not
very useful in it's current state), but also includes an element with
whitespace in it
first-visible-child
last-visilbe-child
