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.
