DropCSS already contains the vast majority of the machinery necessary to create something akin to these libs:
https://github.com/fb55/css-select
https://github.com/jquery/sizzle
https://github.com/dperini/nwmatcher
the amount of additional code/tweaks should be quite small to get this working and there's a reasonable chance that a selector engine built using DropCSS's innards would be very competative in speed and definitely size. Sizzle is 19.4KB (min) while DropCSS is 9.55KB (min) which includes an HTML parser [1] and post-processor [2] that can mostly be ditched.
