| The author style sheet has a higher weight than the UA stylesheet. See:

See, Simon, you did the same mistake as friend of mine who
inspired original question.
The document you mentioned tells different story:
"User agent: Conforming user agents must apply a default style sheet (or behave
as if they did) prior to all other style sheets for a document....."
There is no mentioning about the weight or so.
As far as I understand it: these two systems of styles are completely
independent so weights or specificity of their elements are isolated from
each other.
This is why I think it makes sense to mention it.
I am not good in formal wording so if anybody can build proper phrase about it
then it would be nice.
If we need this at all of course.
