Thanks for the hints.

for the record, in my case I was modifying the <body> background and what  
I was trying to override is not in the respec CSS but the "unofficial  
template" from w3c (that is inserted via script by ReSpec IIRC).

btw if one would like to create a completely new template (so not only CSS  
but also boilerplate etc) for other uses, is there something in the  
current structure that allows that or do I need to patch respec? Use case  
is use respec for company documents or for other organizations

I remember reading that there was a plan to modify ReSpec to be suitable  
for other uses, but I'm not sure if that was only a plan for the future or  
something that is in the latest release.
