They're not, and this has been clear from CSS1:

  "Concatenating the three numbers (in a number system with a large
  base) gives the specificity."

  "Concatenating the three numbers a-b-c (in a number system with a
  large base) gives the specificity."

   -- http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#specificity

I don't know of any specification that says it's not in a large base, so
I don't see any changes (unless I'm misunderstanding your point).
