This sounds fine to me, though not strictly necessary.  The "universal 
selector" is not '*' in Selectors but "an optional namespace component 
followed by '*'".  Which means that while you can omit the whole thing, 
you can't just omit the '*' and include the namespace component, 
Webkit's behavior to the contrary notwithstanding.
