   In other words, to do "h1:not(login > h1)", you'd need to do this:

| :not(.login) > h1, .login > * h1 { /* Styling. */ }

   For ".login h1" and "h1:not(login h1)", one would think the following
would work:

| h1 { /* Common styling. */ }
| .login h1 { /* Login styling. */ }
| :not(.login) > h1 { /* Styling for non-Login level 1 headers. */ }
| :not(.login) > * > h1 { /* Styling for non-Login level 1 headers. */ }
| :not(.login) > * > * > h1 { /* ... */ }
| :not(.login) > * > * > * > h1 { /* ... */ }
| :not(.login) > * > * > * > * > h1 { /* ... */ }
| :not(.login) > * > * > * > * > * > h1 { /* ... */ }
| :not(.login) > * > * > * > * > * > * > h1 { /* ... */ }
| :not(.login) > * > * > * > * > * > * > * > h1 { /* ... */ }
| :not(.login) > * > * > * > * > * > * > * > * > h1 { /* ... */ }
| :not(.login) > * > * > * > * > * > * > * > * > * > h1 { /* ... */ }
| [... On into infinity ...]
