In relation to specificity, the page says:
"Thousands: Score one in this column if the matching selector is inside a <style> element or the declaration is inside a style attribute (such declarations don't have selectors, so their specificity is always simply 1000.) Otherwise 0."

From what I have seen the style attribute takes this preference, but the style element is controlled by ordering. If a style tag appears before link to a css file it will be overridden by the specification of the css file.
Hence, only style attribute is given thousands level specificity. Style element content is treated like any other css file content.

Do correct me if my understanding wrong.
