John Lewis has clearly explained that "0,0,44" should not win over "0,1,2"
This looks like a bug in Opera. I tested with nested divs, and indeed I
found that a selector with 26 elements (specificity 0,0,0,26) wins over one
with a class and one elements (specificity 0,0,1,1) which is _not_ correct.
The spec says that the four numbers should be "concatenated in a number
system with a large base", but doesn't specifity how large this base should
be.
Anyway I don't think this is a big problem...
