How about allow element hiding rules based on XPath expressions?

XPath:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath

document.evaluate :
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DO ... t.evaluate

This was suggested a few times before - but that one is technically difficult. XPath (unlike CSS) is not designed to be applied immediately. It is supposed to work on documents that already finished loading - that would be a setback.

Mh. Anyway it could be useful for simply hiding some annoying element CSS rules can't hide.
