| What does it mean for a user agent style sheet to be important?  How do you

All the more. Why we need this: "Style sheets from these three origins will 
overlap
in scope, and they interact according to the cascade." [1] then?

Why do they need to interact? What does "interaction" mean here?
It is two (or probably three) independent style systems applied consequently.
If we will consider them this way we don't even need !important.
