Now and in the foreseeable future, they surely take effect more often than
the CSS counterpart, since the latter will be ignored when CSS is disabled.
Whether this is a good thing depends on the purpose and context. Few authors
realize that it's _good_ to be easily overridable.

In theory perhaps. There's no sign of anything like that happening in this
century.
