If :scope needs to work matching in implementations might need to change  
by the way. Currently matching is only against the subtree. So  
<div>.querySelector("div") would only match descendant <div> elements.

(An alternative idea might be to make :root match the subtree root in case  
of "scoped" selectors.)
