Does the order of rules in a CSS stylesheet affect rendering speed?

Question

While this could possibly result in a simple yes or no answer I\'ll go for it anyway

Consider the following example:

HTML

Answer 1

It's typically not a good practice to strict type your classes and ID's to a specific element type.

div.foo {}

Will only work for Div's. Then you can't reuse that style elsewhere unless it's a Div element.

.foo { /* Base Style */ }
div.foo { /* Specific to if a DIV is used */ }

This is a slightly better approach.
