AHA!  Thank you so much!  After more reading and testing,
I now see why the above rules work, for you.

After issuing the following command (on my system)

  modprobe cx8800

new entries were created in the /dev/tree.  Here they are:

 /dev/video0
 /dev/vbi0
 /dev/video32
 /dev/i2c-0

writing rules for my system.

Thanks again for some real-world examples of udev rules.
