I've gone through each of the FSS stylesheets on an !important hunt. Here's
what I found:
fss-text.css adds !important to the following properties:
font-size
line-height
font-family
color
background-color
background-image
the theme files add !important to these properties:
td border
background-color
background
color
However, not every reference to these properties was made !important. Are we
safe to add !important to any occurrence of these properties, or do we need to
scope them only to certain selectors? If so, it'll involve a bit more work in
our code, but not a lot.
Heidi and Justin, we need you to look into this ASAP and make a recommendation.

I've pushed a rough working sketch into Michelle's fork. Unfortunately any code
that runs as part of our build system (using Rhino) can't use jQuery or the
framework (due to the lack of a DOM), so this is pretty old-fashioned looking
code, but it's working and should provide a decent base for refinement.
