Actually, that formulation could well break something you don't want 
broken.  Note that .about.home will break in IE/Win, which will apply 
the rule to everything with the "home" class, completely ignoring the 
"about" class.  However, modern browsers will get it correct, and 
only apply the rule to elements with both classes.  Zoe's method will 
apply the rule to any element with *either* class in all 
browsers.  That is probably not what you want.

FWIW, support for multiple class selectors is supposedly on the fix 
list for IE7.
