Servo Browser Engine Adds Dark Mode, Some XPath Support

For ending out the past month, the Servo open-source developers accomplished a number of items such as:
- Servo now supports dark mode and will respect the OS/platform dark mode within the Servoshell example browser with the "prefers-color-scheme" handling currently on Windows and macOS.
- CSS transitions can now be triggered properly by script.
- Servo now runs Discord enough to log-in and read messages. But not yet the ability to send messages on Discord.
- Shadow DOM support continues to be improved upon.
- Enough of XPath support is implemented to get HTMX working.
- The Servo performance continues to be better optimized across multiple fronts.
- Servoshell nightly builds are now up to 20% smaller than previously.
- Prepping the infrastructure for handling full incremental layout with the new layout engine.
- Various other features and fixes.
The Servo developers also shared some screenshots of the latest work on the Servo engine within the Servoshell:
