Assuming we treat comments as text that default do 'display: none', what 
does it mean to apply properties to a doctype or a processing instruction?

This is a very important point! It means that you’re not selecting 
individual nodes, but a new concept that has to be defined. How does 
this wrapping work? Take the largest possible sequences of nodes with 
the same type?
