Actually, they seem to have changed it to `E!` in the [latest draft](http://dev.w3.org/csswg/selectors4). I thought about supporting both syntaxes for now, but it's easy to switch later if necessary.

Yeah, I started the CSS4 work because I thought the subject selector seemed really useful -- I've often wanted a syntax for it in the past. Also, it gives more of a reason for Sel to exist if it actually allows you to do things you can't already do natively in Chrome (or Sizzle!). Sel already supported some things like compound selectors in `:not` and some things like `:matches` were very straight-forward to implement. The biggest thing left I want to add is `:nth-match()` which actually makes the :nth* pseudo-selector pattern useful.

It wouldn't take you long to get up to speed on Sel if you wanted to have your own selector library. Just say the word if you want to be added as a contributor...
