Re: [selectors] Tree selectors

How about counting only tags of one type. 0-based, the n-th descending 
tag of type x from the starting/base tag x.

*level*                  *possible selector(s)*
 <ul>                  ul:depth(0) / ul
  <li>
   <ul>                ul:depth(1) / ul ul (/ ul>*>ul)
    <li>
     <div>
      <ul>             ul:depth(2) / div>ul:depth(0) / ul ul ul / div>ul
       <li>
        <ul>           ul:depth(3) / div>ul:depth(1) / ul ul ul ul / div>ul ul
         <li>

where  :depth(arg) has the possible values n, an+b, odd, even.
