Edit ISSUE-625: Provide way for user stylesheet to override specificity rules

Description:
CSS Cascading and Inheritance http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-cascade/#cascading needs to provide a method to override the specificity rules to allow a user specified style to override author specified styles. Take for example the following scenario. The user requires all text to have increased line spacing so they want to set * {line-height: 2;!important} in their user CSS. This works fine until the author has specified something like UL LI {line-height: 1.1;} in the author CSS which, due to the higher specificity will override the user stylesheet despite the !important. Those users who require more line spacing (or other requirements) need a method to be able to specify this in their user stylesheet and have this apply across all sites.
