Changing the subject line...
What is the failure case? I think I've gotten lost somewhere.
IMO, the goal is to approximate Type Selectors (effectively extend Type
Selectors to other types not specified by W3C), and AIUI, order of class
selectors is about specificity and order of appearance in the CSS file. So one
possible improvement to the current situation is to make the compiler output
the class selectors that are supposed to approximate class selectors first in
the final css file so all later class selectors override it. IOW, do a better
job at making our class selectors that are supposed to act like type selectors
be overridden just like a type selector would.
Thoughts?

I guess it depends.
As long as the styling is set by class selectors, it will work because
class selectors trump type selectors.
I think it would at least be better than what we have now.

on that.
