Comment:
fieldset descendant of a disabled fieldset should match :disabled

Looking at <http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/saved/3080>, Fx and Chrome already do this; IE (or at least the version I have here, claims to be 11.0.9431.0) seems to pay no attention to fieldset[disabled] for :disabled matching at all.
Comment 2 Ms2ger 2014-07-29 10:37:51 UTC 
Anne says Safari matches Fx/Chrome.
Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-07-29 16:51:25 UTC 
That's... what the spec says, no?
Comment 4 Ms2ger 2014-07-29 16:54:26 UTC 
<http://www.whatwg.org/html/#concept-element-disabled> says "fieldset elements that have a disabled attribute"
Comment 5 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-07-29 16:57:28 UTC 
Ah, interesting. I wonder how we ended up with interop here! I'll update the spec.
Comment 6 contributor 2014-09-05 23:01:20 UTC 
Checked in as WHATWG revision r8753.
Check-in comment: Make sure :disabled matches fieldsets inside disabled fieldsets, since apparently that's a thing. Also, editorial cleanup around 'disabled'.
