I would tend to agree with that statement (in the context of writing 
selectors for Selenium tests), except that we find that in practice the 
implementation of CSS in Selenium is buggy, and we often end up needing 
to use XPath instead.  Keeping track of when it's acceptable to use CSS 
is in the end, too burdensome, so we pretty much always use XPath, which 
is at least reliable.
