Yes - particularly good would be regexp selectors for selecting by element
name and attribute value.
As in:
/H[1-6]/ {
font-weight: bolder;
}
A[href/="^http://.*"] {
padding-right: 16px;
background-image: url(offsite.png);
background-position: center right;
}
[class/=".+"] {
font: inherit ! important;
color: inherit ! important;
background: inherit ! important;
margin: inherit ! important;
padding: inherit ! important;
border: inherit ! important;
}
Where "/" is used to indicate a regexp search, and where the
background-position property is allowed to apply to inline elements.
(The first makes all headers bolder. The second adds an icon to
absolute links (presumably offsite ones). The third removes many of
the most visible properties on any elements with a class.)
