I don't understand why anyone creating such syndicated documents would
ever have any rules with #content in the selector as part of their global
style sheet if they _didn't_ want to override the syndicated style sheet.

Because in the case of a syndicated document stream, the article author
writes and styles his content first, and then the syndicator takes those
files and merges them, at which point he can do touch-ups. You don't
publish the frame before you have the content. The person who writes the
style sheet last is the one who should get the ability to easily override
the styles.
