This seems to be the topic in a previous discussion[1]. Although the
request is somewhat different, the issue seems the same: backward
compatibility with sites that rely on browser-targeted CSS hacks like

bar, foo:not(foo)::-x-foo { /* targeting browser x */ }


I do think it might be useful to lift this restriction on pseudo
class/elements we invent in the future, although that seems very
inconsistent.
