Re: [Laszlo-dev] Fwd: specificity oddity

I made an example of this to test it in html, and it works in the way that is correct according to the spec, but annoying, in Firefox and Safari:


This fun post seems to reinforce what I think, although it doesn't specifically address it.

Adam confirms that I read the spec correctly; just we're sad about what the W3C rules end up meaning.

According to the CSS rules of specificity, a selector of 
#gJoeSr person 
has specificity = 0,1,1,0, and is more specific than a selector of 
#gJFK
which only has specificity 0,1,0,0. 

To get the desired results -- where the #gJFK rule wins -- I have to do this
#gJoeSr #gJFK
which has specificity 0,2,00. 

This troubles me. Intuitively I want #gJFK to be more specific than "any person who is a descendant of Joe Sr." 

Am I missing something here?

BTW, 
person #gJFK 
will have the same specificity (0,1,1,0) as 
#gJoeSr person (0,1,1,0)
so according to the rules in sec 6.4.1, the order in which they're declared would matter.
