An important declaration in an author style sheet has more weight than a normal
declaration in an author style sheet, but an important declaration in a user style
sheet will trump them both.
In CSS1, important declarations in an author style sheet had greater weight than
important declarations in a user style sheet. In order to improve the accessibility
of documents that use CSS for presentation, CSS2 reversed the ranking and gave
important declarations in user style sheets the highest weight. This facility allows
users with special needs to specify desired settings like a larger font size, and to be
confident that those settings will be applied.

font-size: 1em !important;
}
If important declarations have the same origin, the normal rules of specificity and
order specified apply.
