I presume what you want instead is that element-rooted queries are handled by matching such that each simple selector (CSS2 definition) or sequence of simple selectors (css3-selectors definition, and I *still* object to changing the meaning of existing terms) must match an element that is or is a descendant of the specified element (the root of the query). Or do you want to eliminate "is or" in my previous paragraph, to exclude the query root? Or something else?I would exclude "is or" - only descendant elements, in this case. For example: <div><div id="test"><div><div id="inner"></div></div></div></div> <script> // matches <div id="inner"></div> document.getElementById("test").querySelectorAll("div div").length == 1 </script>
But that would mean that .querySelectorAll(":root div") would never match anything since :root (or :scope) could only match the element itself, which of course isn't a descendant.
