They are CSS 2 selectors.

IE 5/PC doesn't understand them and neither does IE 6/PC, because it's
still only a CSS 1 browser. IE5/mac on the other hand... it does
understand them, which is useful to bear in mind.

To re-iterate the definitions. Be careful with +. The spec says
something like this: 

F+E selects an element 'E' immediately preceded by an element 'F'

You aren't limited to selectors like p+p, you can do things like h1+p to
affect paragraphs immediately following an h1, not just paragraphs
following paragraphs...
