I see no evidence of that anywhere in the specification...
On the contrary, I think that the second rule should override
the first one.

Not in the actual CSS 2 Rec. . Pseudo-elements have 000 for
the moment (from section 6.4.3) :

. count the number of ID attributes in the selector (= a)
. count the number of other attributes and pseudo-classes in the 
selector (= b)
. count the number of element names in the selector (= c)
. ignore pseudo-elements.
