Hum. I think I yet have to find the difference between

div.section { xxxxxxx }
p.section   { rule("div.section");  yyyy }


and

div.section, p.section { xxxxxx }
p.section { yyyyy }

so my primary reaction is that this is not needed at all.
My secondary reaction is that it changes completely the model of what is a CSS declaration
and I don't like that at all.
My third reaction is that I don't find at all the 1st css chunk above less bloated than
the second one, sorry.
