In the comments to the earlier survey, I noticed someone choosing :has() because '!' means negation in programming languages. But this does not to apply to CSS for the following reasons: 1. With `!important` the exclamation mark already has a meaning in CSS, which is *the opposite* of negation. Like in the regular written word, it indicates emphasis. 2. CSS is not a programming language, like SASS (of which voters may be more familiar with). So by that reasoning the exclaimation mark is a strong choice, since it indicates emphasis and already has precedence in CSS syntax.
