Just for the record of "correctness"
Priorities...
CSS1: ua -> user -> author -> user!important -> author!important
css2: ua -> user -> author -> author!important -> user!important
Effectively 1: author!important styling is redundant in CSS2.
Effectively 2: the C in CSS is a shaky business anyway, mostly
due to the CDATA type content allowed for the
CLASS attribute.
(CLASS attribute values can't be validated)
