Pseudo-element specificity calculation conflict in CSS2

I looked for clarification in the errata, but I did not see 
any - is this a known problem or a non-issue that I am not 
seeing through on first glance? The following two points seem 
to directly conflict to even the casual reader:

<http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/cascade.html#cascading-order>
Point 3: 
  "The secondary sort is by specificity of selector: more 
   specific selectors will override more general ones. 
   Pseudo-elements and pseudo-classes are counted as normal 
   elements and classes, respectively." 

<URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/cascade.html#specificity>
4th bullet: 
   "ignore pseudo-elements."
