It's a bug in your understanding of valid CSS. Don't forget that a CSS
file can be applied to arbitrary XML (containing any element names) and
_future_ versions of HTML (again, containing any element names).
Therefore type selectors aren't restricted to a particular set of tagnames.
Hope that helps.
