OK, so surely what is needed (and this has nothing to do with Useragent
support) is a syntax which would allow a stylesheet to say
IF a less-important style rule <pattern> exists
THEN substitute <this style rule>
FI
This, I suspect, adds weight to the case for REGEXP support in CSS,
since one might well want to access elements of <pattern> in
formulating <this style rule>.
