NB I do not receive this list. please add me to replies charlesn@srl.rmit.edu.au The difficulty is introduced by CSS allowing user-defined sheets. In earlier HTML, there were a fixed number of Styles (H1, H2, P, UL etc). Setting up 'presentation sheets' for these could take advantage of the multi-media aspects of CSS such as the ability to define an audio style, a screen style, etc. without risking it being subsequently over-ridden. (Except Author sheets override reader sheets, which seems stupid to me) Another possibility would be to change the interpretation of specificity. If a user could declare an H1 style, to be regarded as specific to every instance of H1, including a class, id, etc, it would alleviate the difficulty.
