This is actually an interesting question.  Does this end up 
corresponding to:

   :scope foo .bar, foo:scope .bar

or to just

   :scope foo .bar

?  The latter would not match on 'foo' being the scope element, while 
the former would.

I'd think so; you can always insertBefore a <style> element as a child 
of <html>.

Assuming there's no interesting DOM manipulation adding multiple 
HTMLBodyElement elements to the page, etc.
