It doesn't matter whether you count them or not. Both CSS 2.1 section
5.2[1] and Selectors section 4[2] say that there may be no more than
*one* pseudo-element at the end of the selector. E.g., if you have
three selectors
:first-line
p:first-line
body p:first-line
you can assign them specificities 0, 1 and 2 (per Selectors) or 1, 2 and
3 (per CSS 2.1), but the result is always that the last one has the
highest specificity.
