45240 - HTML presentational elements' styles can be overriden by user styles

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 2942

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect, P3)

Description

[fantasai]

Overview:

	HTML presentational elements (<B>, <I>, etc.) have their styles set in
	html.css, allowing the user stylesheet to override them. The CSS specs
 	specify that presentational hints from the markup be treated as if it
	were at the top of the author's stylesheet, and thus the user stylesheet
	would not be able to alter these styles without an !important rule.

	CSS1:3.2 - http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1#cascading-order
	CSS2:6.4.4 - http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/cascade.html#q12

Steps to Reproduce, Actual Results, and Expected Results:

	See testcase (to be attached shortly)

Tested on:

	Build for.. the 3rd of July, I think. (I'm on a public comp ATM.)
