You didn't read far enough. See section 6.4.1, which says:
# Sort by importance (normal or important) and origin (author, user,
or user agent). In ascending order:
1. user agent style sheets
2. user normal style sheets
3. author normal style sheets
4. author important style sheets
5. user important style sheets

All that happens is that any user or author origin rule automatically
"beats" any ua (not !important) rule.

Yes, but their interaction is quite well-defined. So I'm not sure what
you want as a clarification here.
