    <thetext>http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/scripting.html#selectors currently says:

&gt; Everything else (attribute values on HTML elements, IDs and classes in no-quirks mode and limited-quirks mode, and element names, attribute names, and attribute values in XML documents) must be treated as case-sensitive for the purposes of selector matching.

The implied grouping makes it unclear what the parentheses mean. For examples, attribute values on non-HTML elements in an HTML document seem not to be part of &quot;Everything else&quot;, but are not mentioned in the rest of the section either.</thetext>
