These just confirm the long known problem that a finite length pure user
style sheet cannot override an arbitrary author style sheet.  The virtual
style sheets generated by a user agent from some non-style sheet interface,
e.g., if a somewhat poor example, by options on the Accessibility dialogue
of IE, can do this.
