I think it's OK. The other one is
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets.
It looks like the problem may be that this selector:
> h2 a {

is less "specific" than this one:
> .tableinner td a {

basically since the second one involves more stuff-- a class and two
elements. See http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/cascade.html#specificity
