[css-scoping] ::slotted should skip direct children with display: contents

[jpzwarte]

When creating web components/custom elements, the ::slotted pseudo element is very useful for styling slotted children. However, if such a child has display: contents, even though that child has no "presence" in the browser, the ::slotted styling is still applied to it, instead of the children of the display: contents element.

Please change the behavior so ::slotted skips any direct children with display: contents.

Changing how a selector matches based on computed styles is quite tricky. What if you set display: contents on an slotted selector?

Agreed, though there should not be visible styling if the slotted element has display:contents, and it sounds like there is.

It's been a while, but iirc I'm not suggesting a display: contents suddenly has visible styling. Reading this again, I tend to agree that it is a not valid issue.
