Looking at the CSS3 specs, I can't find any way to select any element that has no children.

Let me explain.

<body>
 <h1>Main Page</h1>
 <div id="main">
  <div class="post">
   <h2>Article 1</h1>
   <p>some text</p>
  </div>
  <div class="post">
   <h2>Article 2</h1>
   <p>some text</p>
  </div>
 </div>
</body>

I'm looking for a CSS syntax to select the h1, the two h2 and the two p. A way to select in any page, all elements with no children. Any suggestion ?

Sorry, I forgot to add the "empty" part, I am actually already using the *:empty selector, but it's not working for any tag that has a nodeText as a child. So it's working for any input, image, object, but not for h2, h1, or any p.
