You can't, in a general case, cover all possible IDs.

You can, on a case by case basis. And nothing requires the same user
style sheet to be used for all content. For example, user stylesheet
choices could be saved along with the url and other info (access date,
etc) in the bookmarks.

The same way they would for any other CSS - using :link, :visited and
so on.

What specifically did you not understand?

Just checking, given your previous question - you realise that section
is about *user agent* style sheets, not *user* style sheets?
