   nav#external-links a:matches(
         [href="http://example.com"],
         [href="https://example.com"],
         [href^="http://example.com/"],
         [href^="https://example.com/"]
   ) { /* styles */ }

UA support is not great yet, though Gecko has an implementation under 
the name :-moz-any instead of :matches.
