Re: Mechanism Disclaimer

So in layman's terms I think what the SC is saying is "Don't get in the way
of user style sheets by sticking "!important" on classes of your style
sheets."

And a test for that would be a global search through all the style sheets
looking for the word !important and ensuring it does not encroach upon
changing fonts.

Is that right?

Cheers,
