Remember, using the comma seperates simple selector sequences, writing

  h1, h2, h3 { ... }

is just like writing

  h1 { ... }
  h2 { ... }
  h3 { ... }

As of the current state of CSS Level 3, there is no means of grouping
selectors the way you like to, you have to go like

  .boxHead > h1,
  .boxHead > h2,
  .boxHead > h3 { ... }

admittedly a little verbose...
