Description

:not(a, block) {
  color: blue;
}

is transformed to

:not(:-webkit-any(a, block)) {
  color: #00f;
}

:not(:-moz-any(a, block)) {
  color: #00f;
}

:not(:is(a, block)) {
  color: #00f;
}

(playground).
But this isn't needed because a and block are both valid for the browser range.

Research direction

Start by tracing the Rust selector transformation that handles :not() and compatibility fallbacks, using the CSS example in the issue as the reproduction. Done means the transformation does not inject :is or vendor-prefixed alternatives when all arguments are supported for the target browser range, while preserving required fallbacks in other cases.
