That's a really good question! It seems to match in the webkit nightly
I just tried here, as well as in IE8. Simple testcase:
javascript:var n =
document.createElement("div");n.appendChild(document.createElement("span"));alert(n.querySelector("span").tagName);
Yes, that is the correct behaviour. It should indeed match any element
in the element's subtree, regardless of whether or not that element is
in a document. I thought the spec was clear enough on that issue already.
A naive implementation in Gecko would also match such nodes unless they
are purposefully excluded.
There is no reason for them to be explicitly excluded, especially if
it's easier for them to be included.
