I recently read something that lead me to believe that core.css was referenced last, and was out of our control;
There are now numerous CSS files in SharePoint, the main one being CORE.CSS, which seems to be the next generation of OWS.CSS. You can also create your own CSS files, and create CSS files to go along with your custom master pages. Crummy thing is how SharePoint pulls those CSS files. In the rendered page, SharePoint references CORE.CSS last, even after your custom CSS files for your custom master page. (Side note, I am trying to figure out a way around this). Since whatever is called last is what is applied to an element, the fact CORE.CSS is pulled last is quite a pain. For any default SharePoint styles you want to override in your custom CSS, you are pretty much out of luck. http://www.heathersolomon.com/blog/archive/2006/10/26/5914.aspx Not sure if this applies exactly here though.

They don't call them cascading stylesheets for nothing.

You should put your custom CSS after the CORE.CSS. eg <HEAD> <Sharepoint:CssLink ID="CssLink1" runat="server"/> <link rel="stylesheet" href="/mycustomcss.css" /> Something like that. This way you will not remove the needed CSS classes from CORE.CSS. You can also override OOTB CSS class names in your custom CSS.
