Fine. (I mean your delurking, not confusion. :-) )

You are quite right. I was careless enough to think only in terms of names
in a selector, but indeed the context matters: any selector with at least
one class selector has higher specificity than a selector that contains
element names only.
So I guess we'd next need to know where it didn't work. The OP probably had
a syntax error somewhere and that error was fixed when he tried some of the
suggestions. As usual, posting a URL would have saved some time and effort.
