I wouldn't call it a matter of preference, but of semantics. To a Web
author familiar with CSS, the first one reads as "in region
<region_sel>, <h1>s should be styled like so." This is problematic,
since we really don't want people to think they can style the <h1>
itself in a per-region way.
The second reads as "the lines of <h1>s that are in region <region_sel>
should be styled like so." The Web author gets the right impression
about what she's doing from this selector.
