What follows is a list of CSS selectors currently supported in latest NWMatcher version.
The list has been built upon current W3C Selectors Level 3, but differs in that it contains some deprecated specification that we needed to temporarily maintain.
Text and/or character selectors (content) have no meanings for applications, they don’t work on element nodes but on text nodes, which do not provide an event interface.

E | an Element of type E |
E#fooId | an E element with ID equal to “fooId” |
