I was also thinking to apply some code complexity ideas to understanding a complexity of a CSS selector - for instance, the more operators (selectors like :not, :first-child etc), the more [] conditions - the more complicated a selector is. But, that would not necessarily mean a selector is not good enough. I guess, we'll have to cross a line somewhere since there are no hard rules and avoiding false positives will be impossible.

I guess, a more informative decision could be made if aside from a CSS selector, there is an HTML of the page given. This would complicate the analysis but may lead to a more realistic result. | |
