I haven't yet had any use for this personally. If say the B element is
presented as italic, and so is everything inside an "intro" DIV, the "first
level" style sheet is
div.intro {font-style:italic}
b {font-style:italic}
I have then added
div.intro b {font-style:normal}
To toggle b back to normal, and left it at that. It is of course possible
to add
b, div.intro b b {font-style:italic}
b, div.intro b b b b b b {font-style:italic}
If patterns like that are common, i think that is a case for toggle-italic,
to relieve the poor sods having to read or write those style sheets.
