(So if a site sets some value for a CSS property, a user style can't override it without using !important.) | |

!important does not work only when specifying it on a repeating property in the same rule in IE6. IE7 handles that correctly.

I believe that IE 6 and 7 do not work with !important; see this page: evolt.org/node/60369

Actually, !important works on most IEs (IE6 has a slightly incorrect implementation). For IE support I think you're referring to inherit, which indeed only works since IE8.
