That's what the word `cascading' in `cascading style sheets' means,
doesn't it? There are two ways:
1. Use multiple <LINK HREF="..." REL=STYLE>. In case they contain
conflicting rules, those from later ones have priority.
2. Use @import "standard.style" at the top of the style sheet.
The second method will probably not be part of the first version of
the draft (`level 1'), but it will definitely be in the second.
