Perhaps someone has seen, or has a definitive answer to this question

which has the higher specificity

h1 {}

or

h1, h2 {}

(don't worry about the order in the style sheet, just in an absolute sense)

Relevant part of the CSS specification is here

http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/cascade.html#specificity

FWIW, I think it is ambiguous. But strictly thinking,

"count the number of element names and pseudo-elements in the selector"

I interpret to mean that the group is of specificity 2, and so higher than the type selector, of specificity 1
Or do they both have a specificity of 1?


Thanks, interested in people's thoughts,

john
