See above linked discussion for details. In the end we felt limiting the
selector matching to the scope is more natural, and - with the proposed
exception providued by :root and :scope - is more flexible.

However, naming the attribute 'webkit-scoped' may certainly be a good idea.


 Can we take these steps behind a flag given the attribute doesn't work

I would prefer not to use a flag for the following reasons:

.) I already have the basic functionality working, with the exception of
scoped @keyframes and @font-face, so landing should not take a long time (I
am currently in the process of breaking the patch up, and adding more
tests).
.) There are quite a few changes that add parameters to functions, etc.,
which makes adding a flag ugly.
