An example of where order of the css makes a difference (post from Jon Spivey) on link pseudo code sequence
"The order should be link - visited - hover - active. Reason when you click a
link (ie make it active) 2 rules could apply to it hover and active, so the
style defined last wins out, in your order hover would win because its
defined last so the active style would never show."
