Don't hurt yourself please; you are trying to break open an already open
door. (DocBook and Tei are in my "vocabulary" since years back)
But back to the original issue; Bert is postulating a question that is
impossible to answer as per his request.
The correct answer is that CSS _selects_ elements out of the parse tree
as per correctly set-up selectors; properties of such selected elements
can have presentational values assigned and suggested to them, that's
it.
Asking for specific and separate treatment of just some certain
combinations of elements, in the parse tree, to be part of the CSS specs
is moot. Forget it, move to rethink the design.
