Thanks, Steve, Eric and Rob. One more question: I can't get the old and the 
new syntax to work when the two selectors are separated with a comma and 
listed in front of a single rule:

/* Doesn't work: */
::content > *, * /content/ * {
  color: red;
}

/* Works: */
::content > * {
  color: red;
}
* /content/ * {
  color: red;
}

This is very inconvenient, especially for large rules. We need to keep both 
for a while for the code to work across the latest Dartium and Chrome on 
Windows/Max/Linux. I was able to get similar old-vs-new syntax to work 
before, e.g. when :host.something changed to :host(.something).

Also, could changes like this be rolled out gradually, with a transitional 
period when both syntaxes are supported and the old one reported as 
deprecated, e.g. in the console? This abrupt change has disrupted our work 
here at Spark quite a bit yesterday.
