I think what we want is the ability of the author to reformat the information to view it the way they need it. I think this works best when the browser can ignore the author style sheets and the user can insert their own. This is not ideal, since the document will be rendered in linear order. This maybe a problem if the author (or tool) did not develop the document in a linear logical order, if they author(tool) was using CSS positioning to reorder a dcoument to have a logical visual flow. I think attributes like !important and the such will just complicate the situation for both users and authors. We need to remember that most WWW authors and users will know nothing about HTML and style sheets. Authors will use tools to build pages and users with disabilities will be using the browser/OS controls and assistive technology to adjust their view to the information. Therefore we need to think of the simpliest and most robust solutions.
