To be perfectly honest with you, there isn't much you can do if they're
using an editor like Front Page. FYI, deprecated elements _do_
override style declaration, eg:
<style type="text/css">
p {font-family: serif;
color: red
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p><font color="#008000" face="Georgia">This should be in
green</font>.</p>
Will indeed be green, not red.
What you might be able to do, however, is run the document through Tidy
and remove such elements. Then, your stylesheet might just stand a
chance.
