Hej Eva (hur mår Sverige idag ?-),
Just to point out a common mistake which comes from the spec
itself : no, a CSS rule is not "selector + declaration". It is
"selector + block of declaration(s)" or "group of selectors +
block of declaration(s)"
There is a confusion in the spec between a selector and a group
of selectors, see for instance first paragraph of section 4.1.7.
If you read this paragraph and section 5, a selector is made of
selectors...
There is also common confusion between a selector and a simple selector,
and between a selector and a sequence of simple selectors not separated
by combinators.
