Precisely. 'div#vision h3 p' means 'select all paragraphs occurring inside
an h3 occurring inside a div with id 'vision''. This isn't what occurs in
your document (you'd have had to have some structure like
<h3><p>blah</p></h3>). 'div#vision p' means 'select all paragraphs
occurring inside a div with id 'vision'', which reflects your markup as it
stands.
