Re: Opera's Proposal for :context Selector

I much prefer something like :

    selector1 {
        @rule selector2 { // or @me or @context or somewhat else
            ...
        }
    }

Similar to :

    selector1 selector2 {
        ...
    }

* Sample :

    ul, ol {
        @me > li { ...  }
        @me > li:hover { ... }
        @me > li.hidden { ... }
        ...
        border: left;
        ...
    }

Similar to :

    ul, ol { border: left; ... }
    ul > li, ol > li { ... }
    ul > li:hover, ol > li:hover { ... }
    ul > li.hidden, ol > li.hidden { ... }
    ...
