Thank you, Boris, for your second reply. I do see, in Section 4, "A selector consisting of a single sequence of simple selectors represents any element satisfying its requirements." And, perhaps that's all there needs to be in Sections 4, since its purpose is to give a bird's eye view of selector syntax. But, an example of a multiclass selector would be of great help. And, since the purpose of Section 4 is to give the bird's eye view, and the purpose of Section 6.3.1 is to give the syntax specific to attribute selectors, I suggest Section 6.4. "Class selectors" as the best place for the example. I don't think a new statement needs to be made in 6.4. Making the change to the statement in 6.3.1 that I originally suggested would support the example in 6.4. Sincerely, Barry
