           Summary: [CSS Selectors] Remove dynamic specificity
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2

          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: koivisto at iki.fi

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.
