Exactly.  IIRC the only reason I inserted the non-overridable
selectors was to "brute force" them in.  What's a better way to change
those (.indent, .outdent, .diffbox, .diffadd code, .diffdel code,
.diffrestore, .difftype, .difftime .diffauthor, .diffrestore) without
using the second stylesheet?

Oh.  It doesn't make sense to have non-overridable css selectors in
the *default* skin.  :-)
