I would probably do something like this:.italic .booktitle{ font-style: normal;} Unless I'm missing a more complicated issue.
This is, in general, the best answer CSS offers-- set up contextual selectors that cover the known and forecast scenarios where it's needed, and style accordingly. There might be preprocessor extensions/mixins/et al. that make Jeff's original request easier, and if so I'd love to hear about them.
There was a proposal at one point to create "cyclic" selection in CSS where you could alternate a property's values from one to another exactly as Jeff was hoping to do, but it was so long ago (and so ignored by browsers) that I can't remember the exact terms that were used to describe it, and so can't find any references online. If anyone here remembers that proposal more clearly, I'd also love to hear.
