I never said the rules should be interleaved. I actually made a point to say that I specifically didn't mix them. What I'm saying is that the selectors mechanism is something that would be very useful just beyond the styling layer. Because it is useful for things besides styling, it may be useful to take it out and make it a generic part of the web. -- Orion Adrian
