The document discusses CSS3 selectors, which provide more precise targeting of elements without adding classes. It covers new structural pseudo-class selectors like :first-child, :last-child, and :nth-child(), as well as attribute selectors. While browser support for CSS3 is still developing, JavaScript polyfills like jQuery can be used to add support. The author advocates developing without polyfills initially, then testing and adding polyfills only where needed to support older browsers.
