That's not what you're asking for.  You're asking for the ability to
say that one set of stylesheets applies to your element and its
descendants, while another set doesn't.  That's not something you can
handle with a CSS property - it's a layering violation.

Your problem is somewhat solved now, and will be solved better in the
near future by a technology under active development.  You can stop
thinking about this.
