I did notice that and was trying to work that it.  I think I'm still missing 
the principle here, though, so I'm not sure how I *should* proceed.

Should I be redefining the div.dokuwiki stuff?  Why is all the CSS selected for 
under div.dokuwiki?  What is supposed to go outside of div.dokuwiki?

Adding div.dokuwiki to my CSS did help a bit, but I'm wondering if I should 
have gone the other way and further isolated my CSS classes from the dokuwiki 
ones, so I don't have this div.dokuwiki overlap.

For now I'm doing whatever gets things working fastest.  It would be nice to 
see a splitbrain page describing the CSS class philosophy, outlining the 
suggested way to customize it.

What an amazing tool!  I'm solving problems lickety-split.  Mostly it's been a 
case of my classes aren't being used at all and the dokuwiki ones are, or the 
dokuwiki classes are being applied after mine are (due to more specific 
selectors).

The option showing me all the CSS on the page was a bit overwhelming though.  I 
really don't think that page needs that much CSS.  I guess trying to factor 
things out better and dyamically assemble the CSS would be a bit too 
overwhelming.

Thanks for the pointers.  I now love Firefox twice as much as I did before.
