Description Antti Koivisto 2020-04-13 02:46:52 PDT 
CSS selector specification drafts at some point had a concept of "dynamic specificity" where the specificity of a selector depended on the element it matched. It was only ever used with :matches and :nth-child pseudo classes and has subsequently been removed. Selector specificity can now always be computed statically.

There is a ton of code to support this obsolete feature. It can be removed.

Mixing div and nottarget tags?

Ditto.

Would be nice to have a typedef for "specificity" rather than using 'unsigned' everywhere.

Or even wrap it into a class.

Reduces scope a bit so compiled selectors still cache the specificity.
