I don't think this is really realistic. If <div id="content"> is imported
from another source, why would the doc style sheet attempt to style it if
the importing source is going to override it?
In fact, I'd suggest that it's the parent doc that is the one that is
going to want to override styles. For that, this mechanism works fine.
