[all] definition of identical selections

Hi all,
Quick query - in the specification, section:
http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/drafts/its20/its20.html#selection-precedence 


there is a note that says:
"If identical selections are defined in different rules elements within 
one document, the selection defined by the last takes precedence."

Can anyone confirm that an 'identical selection' means that the set of 
matching nodes is identical, after other precedence rules and overrides 
have been calculated, rather than meaning the just the value of the 
selector attribute is identical?

If so, it might be worth revisiting definition of 'selection' in; 
http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/drafts/its20/its20.html#def-selection

This seems to refer to 'selection' as a mechanism (i.e as a verb). The 
current definitions might better suit 'selection mechanism' while 
'selection' could be defined as the set of document nodes matching a 
given selector.

cheers,
Dave
