using the last-of-type css selector to remove a border from the last item in a list

i find using the last-of-type css selector quite useful when there is a list or re-occuring items and the last one has to be slightly different from the other ones. 

This allows me to target the last item called a-list-item in my list, so if additional items are added or removed the last-of-type will still target the last one. 

You can also see that in the My List 2 area it starts the selector again which is terminated by its parent, so this rule will still apply as long as they are segrigated. 

HTML

<!-- -->
<h3>My List</h3>
<div class='my-list'>
  <div class='a-list-item'>An Item in the List</div>
  <div class='a-list-item'>An Item in the List</div>
  <div class='a-list-item'>An Item in the List</div>
</div>

<h3>My List 2</h3>
<div class='my-list-2'>
  <div class='a-list-item'>An Item in the List</div>
  <div class='a-list-item'>An Item in the List</div>
  <div class='a-list-item'>An Item in the List</div>
</div>

CSS

.a-list-item {
	border-bottom:3px solid #999;
  	margin-bottom:10px;
  	padding-bottom:10px;
}
.a-list-item:last-of-type {
	border-bottom:0px solid #999;
}

My List

An Item in the List
An Item in the List
An Item in the List

My List 2

An Item in the List

Random CSS Property

content-visibility

The content-visibility CSS property controls whether or not an element renders its contents at all, along with forcing a strong set of containments, allowing user agents to potentially omit large swathes of layout and rendering work until it becomes needed. Basically it enables the user agent to skip an element's rendering work (including layout and painting) until it is needed — which makes the initial page load much faster.
