Neat idea -- and here I thought it was just going to redirect to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/ D:
This is probably the fifth "Why didn't I think of that?" thing I've seen on HN today. Really cool stuff... bookmarking it in case I need it one day.
The exact thought I had. Having just released a widget this weekend I had thought about how to give it a thorough test. I'll just try it out on some different blog platforms was my sad idea. Then, this today. Thank you very much Gabriel!
Is the "!important" thing part of a coming arms race? Must admit I have not encountered it before. Can they be combined (!important !important or !veryimportant,...), and in a couple of months all style sheets have to be !supermegamegaimportant?
This is one of those times I pat myself on the back for reading the specifications directly ;P

This feature sucks. So once stylehseet authors start using !important everywhere, users will have to use !important everywhere, too. Then in the next incarnation they will introduce a !moreImportant property to overide the !important setting of the user stylesheet.
