Yes, but I think I ended up paraphrasing the applicable paragraph. :)
Not intentionally, mind you.

Section 5 (Selectors) doesn't contain any examples of of mixed type
attribute selectors as far as I can see. However, the (normative)
grammar makes it unequivocally clear that they are valid for simple
selectors[1].

[1] I should point out that the simple_selector production in the
CSS 2 grammar is in error. It was corrected in CSS 2.1 to:

simple_selector
: element_name [ HASH | class | attrib | pseudo ]*
| [ HASH | class | attrib | pseudo ]+
;

The previous production made the selector entirely optional.
That is,

{
/* Declarations */
}

would be valid.
