# Provide API to lower non-functional psuedoclasses
It may be simpler, though less featureful[1], to implement interactive
psuedoclasses as if they were psuedoelements. That way when the style
tree has been interacted, we can retrieve the altered styles rather than
reapply the full stylesheet.

Many other psuedoclasses are equivalent to other selectors, especially if the
caller doesn't implement certain interactions.

As such there should be a StyleSheet decorator that can be configure to perform
these tasks.

## Notes
1. Rewriting psuedoclasses to psuedoelements would not allow a browser to support
selectors like ":hover li" that are popularly used to create offline-interactive
pages without JavaScript.

However it is probably wise to discourage such patterns, as they do not
communicate necessary state to accessibility tools.
