Hmm. Wouldn't that only be problematic if an equal weight has to be 
given to both rules? I'd say the second rule would take precedence, such 
that all text styled italic would be styled normal. In other words:

A is now B.

B is now A.

So we are back at A, like a chameleon.

Alternatively, one could require UAs to ignore self-contradictory 
property declarations used with style selectors.
