I feel that in general, adding bindings with selectors is a good idea as
selector syntax is very convenient. However, it feels wrong to mix them
with css. It feels to me that it makes css no longer css, but something
much more complex than the rest of the specification. Wouldn't it be
better to at least have a separate type for "bindings sheets", i.e. in html:
<link href="bindings.???" rel="bindings" type="text/???" />
??? because I don't know what the suffix would be called.
