Re: issue-77 Rule parsing precedence

Hi Marcis,

at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-its20-20121206/#selection-global
sec 5.2.1 we say "The rules sections are to be read in document order". 
For HTML that would mean: first rules in "head", then in "body", if 
there are e.g. "div" in body with "rules" in them first the first "div", 
then the second etc.

Should we clarify in 5.2.1 that this also applies to HTML?

Best,

Felix
