  What’s holding up the Firefox implementation? Parent select is one feature that xpath would’ve provided earlier than the adopted selector spec. Glad to see it coming over.

  Have to say, I'm very excited to see all the new additions CSS is getting lately. Things like this and the has: selector are going to make web development way better than before.

  Anyone have a great example of something that this enables to be achieved more simply than with a class name?
