They have the same weight. They are just groupings of individual selectors.
More on this here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/selector.html#grouping
Theoretically, a browser must sort each element separately, so it will
gather any rule that includes an h1 and then sort out the weightings.
As the browser has to look at each mention of an individual element, it
would treat "h1, h2" as two separate rule sets to be sorted separately when
their relevant elements are being sorted.
My 2 cents
