Most often it can be avoided. But sometimes not.

There used to be !legal as well as !important:
http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-css1-951209.html#legal
With !legal gone (thank goodness) we should be able to write unambiguously:
#statusbar-display {
left: 0 !;
right: auto !;
}
Which at, at least, is shorter. But I'm unsure if it's worth the
hassle to change the syntax at this stage.
