Thanks, that example has another confusing bit, ::content. As far as I
can tell ::content is not actually an element that ends up in the
tree. It would make more sense for that to be a named-combinator of
sorts. (And given ::content allowing selectors on the right hand, it's
now yet more unclear why :host is not ::host.)
