Avoid universal selectors with a better box model in Sass/Compass.

gistfile1.sass

// Inside my base include file which includes Compass.
%bs-border-box { @include box-sizing(border-box); }

// Inside my application Sass file.
@each $el in elements-of-type('block') { #{$el} { @extend %bs-border-box; } }

// Generates the following CSS.
address, article, aside, blockquote, center, dir, div, dd, details, dl, dt, 
fieldset, figcaption, figure, form, footer, frameset, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, 
hr, header, hgroup, isindex, menu, nav, noframes, noscript, ol, p, pre, 
section, summary, ul { 
  -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; -moz-box-sizing: border-box; box-sizing: border-box;
}

Is there any advantage to this approach over using the * selector?
