FYI, it's proposed that we (Chromium) ship this in M121 (hitting Stable in early January), so if you have any feedback on the design now would be a good time to give it.

Yeah, no objections from my side. I'm still sad that we ended up with these mouthful of a name for pseudo classes rather than something more like ::part()/:state(), but that ship sailed and was discussed so... Positive?
