 > I believe when you design a wordpress theme you shouldn't keep in mind
 if your styles affect or no the admin bar, makes way more sense that if
 you want to affect it, preppend the #admin-bar (as JohnONolan said
 before). I don't understand why a theme developer should have the admin
 bar in mind, unless of course he wants to focus on it.

 Is this a theme for WordPress? Then you should account for HTML elements
 that are common in WordPress.  In the past theme developers have had to
 account for widget classes, more recently the menu classes, and now they
 will have to handle admin bar classes.  It's part of what it means to
 develop themes for WordPress.

 > Obviously we should have an equilibrium between "bloated" css and
 simplifying the work for the theme designers, I believe that "reseting" a
 propriety like in this case li :before { content: none; } is not that
 we're bloating it.

 You believe that the `:before` pseudo element should have global scope;
 someone else believes that some other CSS rule should have global scope.
 Where does it stop?  That's what has to be decided, and I have suggested
 common usage and a rough methodology for determining that usage, as the
 criteria.  All I'm arguing for is that we ''have'' a criterion or two,
 rather than either trying to account for all scenarios or handling bugs as
 they are reported.
