Just following up on this. Any thoughts?

Note that there’s a new compat risk scenario that I wasn’t previously
aware of (<https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/6774>), so there
are actually two kinds of content that might be adversely affected:

1.  content somehow relying on descendants being reset to initial
    ::selection styles (and not using universal ::selection rules)

2.  content relying on combining one highlight color explicitly set on
    ::selection with another defaulted from the originating element
