[webkit-help] Help Getting Started / locating what I am looking for.

In general, I am starting to wade through webkit code but there is a lot and
not a lot of docs (at least that I am finding), so any pointer to file
in webkit source or docs would be very greatly appreciated.

Specifically, I am interested in a deeper understanding of how webkit
determines which elements to test selectors against  (not which
selectors to test
or any of those ptimizations, just literally which elements)?  Does it
just walk the
subtree any time a DOM modification happens and collect for retesting
or is it smarter than that?


Thanks.
