Yeah, the use of ' ' as a combinator is sort of killing us here.  :(

I think that the use cases for the "#foo.bar" and "#foo .bar" selectors 
are equally strong, yeah.  They're both pretty commonly used.  For 
":hover" instead of ".bar" the use case for the descendant combinator is 
less strong, but I don't think we should have different parsing rules 
for ":hover" and ".bar" here.
