Note that what makes the ">strong, >em" selector (which apparently some libraries support) hard to support spec-wise is that that is not in fact valid CSS syntax. It's certainly possible to define behavior for it, it's pretty clear to me how it's intended to work, but it would mean specifying our own syntax. However if supporting commaseparated queries is critical for libraries then I see no other choise. We'll one way or another have to specify our own syntax, though it can be heavily based on the productions in the Selector spec. / Jonas
