Description Dimitri Glazkov 2011-12-15 23:33:03 UTC 
Perhaps a ":host" pseudoclass? How will this work with multiple shadow trees?
Comment 1 Dimitri Glazkov 2012-01-10 00:08:07 UTC 
The gist of the problem:

* If we allow addressing shadow host in scoped stylesheets in shadow DOM subtree, we are creating a situation where some rules would step outside of the shadow DOM subtree, thus making things rather confusing.

* If we don't allow this, we have no way to style a shadow host from a shadow DOM subtree. 

At this point, I think the latter is less evil than the former and pick it.
Comment 2 Dimitri Glazkov 2012-03-09 23:59:24 UTC 
Need to modify the rule applicability algorithm to allow rules with certain selectors to be applicable in the document.
Comment 3 Dimitri Glazkov 2012-03-10 00:23:13 UTC 
Tab, is ":host" a good name? Anything I can crib from Selectors 4?
Comment 4 Dimitri Glazkov 2012-03-16 17:26:52 UTC 
Going with ":host". Loook out! :P
