Description James Craig 2013-05-24 15:24:00 PDT 
Negation selector (:not()) should support full complex selectors according to CSS4 Selectors draft. 

Test case: The following throw syntax errors.

document.querySelectorAll('input:not([type="button"][value])'); /* Any input that does not have both attribute: value and type="button". */
document.querySelectorAll('input:not(label input)'); /* Any input that is not contained in a label ancestor. */
document.querySelectorAll('input:not(label>input)'); /* Any input that is not contained in a label parent. */


Quoting: http://dev.w3.org/csswg/selectors4/#negation

The negation pseudo-class, :not(), is a functional pseudo-class taking a selector list as an argument. It represents an element that is not represented by its argument.

In the fast Selectors profile, only lists of compound selectors are allowed within :not(): combinators are not allowed. In the complete profile, full complex selectors are allowed.
