My fault, since it is not yet supported by IE, I don't tend to use it yet since it won't work for most users, so I'm not as familiar with :not() as with the parts I do use. Is there ant particular reason other than keeping things from getting bogged down with complex selectors as to why it is limited to a simple selector? It would seem that placing complex selectors inside not() would be parsable.
