Thanks George.
I've thought something similar, and I also prefer to use long rules.
It seems that specific rules have less specificity or something similar.
The strange thing is that I'm using last Firefox version... so don't seem a
problem of wrong interpretation as to skip the rule itself (otherwise short
forms wouldn't function at all IMO).
Regards
Paolo
