It doesn't make that big of a difference here, but if throughout your
style sheet you spelled out every level of nesting, it could really add
up. Remember that descendant selectors are not the same as child
selectors: you don't have to list every level, just the ancestor and
descendant, no matter how much stuff is in between.

I very much agree. :-) Take the time to really learn how CSS works,
instead of just how to achieve effect XX with it.
