That just means that it will only return elements that are descendants,
but selects are still evaluated in the context of the entire tree.
div.querySelector(":scope");
won't return anything, since the the selecor is referring to the element
itself and is therefore quite a useless thing to do, but:
div.querySelector(":scope>span")
will return only span elements that are children of that div element.
