This was more of an aside about an implementation detail from Gecko code once-upon-a-time. Gecko treated pseudo-elements as logical constructs within the parent, that's all I was getting at.

The reason I'm getting hung up on it is because I'm strongly against
anything that makes some pseudo-elements work differently,
syntax-wise, than others.  I think the way we handle pseudo-elements
today was a minor legacy mistake, but that's not something we can fix
now, and it means that imbuing pseudo-elements with more structure is
tricky/confusing to deal with.

Let's just do named combinators and keep everything sane. ^_^
