== [selectors] Selectors in ::slotted don’t affect specificity ==
Let’s say I have a custom element `<my-elem>`, that has the following shadow root markup:

```html
<style>
  /* ... */
  ::slotted(main) {
    background-color: blue;
  }
  ::slotted(*) {
    background-color: red;
  }
</style>
<slot></slot>
```

```html
<my-elem>
  <div>DIV!</div>
  <main>MAIN!</main>
  <aside>ASIDE!</aside>
</my-elem>
```

I’d argue most authors would expect `<main>` to have a blue background color, but it is in fact red. Afaict, this is currently per spec. Selectors passed to `::slotted()` don’t affect specificity. So precedence is defined by order of declaration.

Was this intentional? If so, why? If not, is it changeable?
