　　3、GuidelinesforEfficientCSS
　　3.1、AvoidUniversalRules!
　　Makesurearuledoesn'tendupintheuniversalcategory!
　　3.2、Don'tqualifyID-categorizedruleswithtagnamesorclasses
　　IfyouhaveastylerulethathasanIDselectorasitskeyselector,don'tbotheralsoaddingthetagnametotherule.IDsareunique,soyou'reslowingdownthematchingfornorealreason.
BAD-button#backButton{}
BAD-.menu-left#newMenuIcon{}
GOOD-#backButton{}
GOOD-#newMenuIcon{}
　　3.3、Don'tqualifyclass-categorizedruleswithtagnames
　　Similartotheruleabove,allofourclasseswillbeunique.Theconventionyoushoulduseistoincludethetagnameintheclassname.
BAD-treecell.indented{}
GOOD-.treecell-indented{}
　　3.4、Trytoputrulesintothemostspecificcategoryyoucan!
　　Thesinglebiggestcauseofslowdowninoursystemisthatwehavetoomanyrulesinthetagcategory.Byaddingclassestoourelements,wecanfurthersubdividetheserulesintoclasscategories,andthenwenolongerwastetimetryingtomatchasmanyrulesforagiventag.
BAD-treeitem[mailfolder="true"]>treerow>treecell{}
GOOD-.treecell-mailfolder{}
　　3.5、Avoidthedescendantselector!
　　ThedescendantselectoristhemostexpensiveselectorinCSS.Itisdreadfullyexpensive,especiallyifaruleusingtheselectorisinthetagoruniversalcategory.Frequentlywhatisreallydesiredisthechildselector.TheuseofthedescendantselectorisbannedinUICSSwithouttheexplicitapprovalofyourskin'smoduleowner.
BAD-treeheadtreerowtreecell{}
BETTER,BUTSTILLBAD(seenextguideline)-treehead>treerow>treecell{}
　　3.6、Tag-categorizedrulesshouldnevercontainachildselector!
　　Avoidusingthechildselectorwithtag-categorizedrules.Youwilldramaticallyincreasethematchingtime(especiallyiftheruleislikelytobematchedmoreoftenthannot)foralloccurrencesofthatelement.
BAD-treehead>treerow>treecell{}
BEST-.treecell-header{}
　　3.7、Questionallusagesofthechildselector!
　　Becarefulaboutusingthechildselector.Ifyoucancomeupwithawaytoavoidhavingtouseit,doso.Inparticular,thechildselectorisfrequentlyusedwithRDFtreesandmenuslikeso.
BAD-treeitem[IsImapServer="true"]>treerow>.tree-folderpane-icon{}
　　RememberthatattributesfromRDFcanbeduplicatedinatemplate!TakeadvantageofthisfacttoduplicateRDFpropertiesonchildXULelementsthatwishtochangebasedoffthatattribute.
GOOD-.tree-folderpane-icon[IsImapServer="true"]{}
　　3.8、Relyoninheritance!
　　Learnwhichpropertiesinherit,andallowthemtodoso!WehaveexplicitlysetupXULwidgetrysothatyoucanputlist-style-image(justoneexample)orfontrulesontheparenttag,anditwillfilterintotheanonymouscontent.Youdon'thavetowastetimewritingarulethattalksdirectlytotheanonymouscontent.
BAD-#bookmarkMenuItem>.menu-left{list-style-image:url(blah);}
GOOD-#bookmarkMenuItem{list-style-image:url(blah);}
　　Intheaboveexample,thedesiretostyletheanonymouscontent(withoutunderstandingthatlist-style-imageinherits)resultedinarulethatwasintheclasscategory,whenthisrulereallyshouldhaveendedupbeinginthemostspecificcategoryofall,theIDcategory.
　　Remember,especiallywithanonymouscontent,thattheyallhavethesameclasses!Thebadruleabovecausestheiconofeverymenutobecheckedtoseeifitiscontainedinthebookmarksmenuitem.Thisishideouslyexpensive(sincetherearemanymenus);thisrulenevershouldhaveevenbeencheckedbyanymenuotherthanthebookmarksmenu.
　　3.9、Use-moz-image-region!
　　Puttingabunchofimagesintoasingleimagefileandselectingthemwith-moz-image-regionperformssignificantlybetterthanputtingeachimageintoitsownfile.
