I beg to differ on that one. Rule 5 should only be applied if the
specificity is the same and it isn't.
I did some more research on it. As it turned out, all major browsers
adopted a modified version of the CSS specs where the STYLE properties
are given the number 1000, thus taking them above all other external
rules.
Thanks again for replying.
