The problem with declaring all three in one is that IE 5 (possibly 5.5
also, can't remember which right now) for PC chokes on any declaration
that contains :focus. Combining your :active and :focus rules will
effectively cancel that entire declaration in dodgy old IE. I seem to
remember Opera in smallscreen mode choking on that combined rule as
well, but I think that's a seperate discussion. :)
