Hi,

I have discovered that the select-elements function in Jade 0.8 requires the 
pattern to be in the reverse order to that specified in the draft standard, 
i.e. the deepest node has to be at the start of the list followed by its parent.

Why is this so? Did the standard get changed?

regards,

Mark
