Do they? The cascade results in a computed value for every (property, 
element pair). The "applies to" concept is a bit more fuzzy. My 
understanding is that it indicates whether the value is "considered" 
somehow at some point, or not. But many properties (eg. width) are never 
considered before box generation.
