This is precisely what I am saying.  I don't know how you are connecting with 
external style sheets but if you are using @import then it is always before any 
other rules in the header or external style sheets.  This means any subsequent 
styles will override anything in the imported styles.  This make sense 
otherwise browser makers will start inventing their own way of interpreting the 
guidelines.

Any way we seem to have gone outside the original question and so we should end 
here before groups-papa tells us off to shut up.
