I think it has to go like this:
1. Get default namespace / resolve namespace prefixes
2. Run the group of selectors over the "current" DOM
And I like to believe that this is what the specification requires. But
maybe we should make it explicit in the method section that step 1 has
to happen first and that user agents are not allowed to do both at the
same time.
So even prefixes that are never going to match in the current document
have to be checked?
Well, the intent was more that prefixes are resolved before checking the
DOM at all. If the UA doesn't think it needs to check prefixes that's fine
(though it would probably still have to check the default namespace).
