This is defined in <http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/>. At the moment
the subject of a selector is always the one at the end, so this would
select only 'ul' elements.

Currently there is no such feature. You can search the list archive for
some of the proposals that have been made to support this. Old drafts of
CSS3 Selectors has a :subject pseudo-class. None of the methods is in
any current draft.
