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.
