I agree here - if CSS wants to follow in the DOM spec's footsteps and have 
something like, say:

@supports(td.dataRow.even)) {
/* CSS rules */
}

This would be easy for browsers to implement and wouldn't shift focus away from 
coding to the standards rather than the browser implementations thereof. I'm all 
for something like that.
