Apparently I am not making myself clear.  The *support* of 
document.querySelector() does _not_ imply support of certain *selectors* 
*because* certain selectors were not yet specified/supported when 
document.querySelector() was introduced.  For example, the “:checked” pseudo 
class was standardized with CSS3 Selectors in 2011 [1]; 
document.querySelector() was standardized with Selectors API Level 1 in 2013 
[2].

[2] <https://www.w3.org/TR/2013/REC-selectors-api-20130221/>
