Isn't this the same as h1 % h2, h1 % h2 % h2?

This might be useful. For instance, one common requirement is to have
list bullets differ with nesting. This would be nice to have like
ul > li { list-style-type: disc }
ul > li ul > li { list-style-type: square }
ul > li ul > li ul > li { list-style-type: circle }
Ideally you'd like to continue disc, square, circle, disc, square, circle, . . .
