As a further bit of info, the UA-important level is defined in the
Cascade module at <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-cascade/#cascade>.
It's higher than everything except Transitions (and maybe Animations,
depending on the browser right now, but that'll settle down soonish).
This means that it's impossible for author-level code to override the
property, but I think that's what the correct and desirable behavior
is for this.
