That's a really good question! It seems to match in the webkit nightly
I just tried here, as well as in IE8. Simple testcase:
javascript:var n =
document.createElement("div");n.appendChild(document.createElement("span"));alert(n.querySelector("span").tagName);
Paste this into your URL bar of choice.
A naive implementation in Gecko would also match such nodes unless they
are purposefully excluded.
If the intent is that these nodes not match, the spec obviously needs to
spell it out a lot more clearly than it currently does.
