 * When a document has no doctype, or a doctype not named `html`, it should be parsed in Quirks
   Mode. [2197](https://github.com/jhy/jsoup/issues/2197)
 * With a selector like `div:has(span + a)`, the `has()` component was not working correctly, as the inner combining
   query caused the evaluator to match those against the outer's siblings, not
   children. [2187](https://github.com/jhy/jsoup/issues/2187)
