-    A div's selection highlight would be a green background to the
-    selected content, with a 1px thick blue underline. The
-    ''--background-color'' custom property is not found on the
-    ''div::selection'' nor ''::selection'' so it is taken from the
-    ''::root'' custom property match. The ''--decoration-thickness''
-    property is inherited from ''::selection'' via the highlight
-    cascade and ''--decoration-color'' is found in
-    ''div::selection'' itself.
+    The universal ''::selection'' uses the user-agent's default styling
+    because it only defines custom properties,
+    with no properties that influence the appearance.
+    A div's selection highlight would apply a green background to the selected content,
+    with a 10px thick blue underline.
+    Since ''--background-color'' and ''--decoration-thickness'' custom properties
+    are not specified on the ''div::selection'' peudo-element,
+    they are inherited from its originating <{div}> element,
+    which itself inherits the custom properties from the root.
+    However since ''--decoration-color'' is specified on the ''div::selection'' itself,
+    its value from the [=originating element=] is not used.
   </div>
 
-  Note: This behavior is intended to accomodate the standard practice of
-  defining document-wide custom properties on '':root''.
+  Note: This behavior allows control of selection with custom properties
+  in a way that is compatible with pre-existing implementations.
