[quote]The universal selector, written as a CSS qualified name [CSS3NAMESPACE] 
with an asterisk (* U+002A) as the local name, represents the qualified name of 
any ____element____ type
[/quote]
(my emphasis)

It selects elements (p, div, span, etc) that exist in the DOM (document tree); 
generated content doesn't exist in the DOM, it is purely a CSS construct.
