I'm also interested in what people do.
I've tended towards having four major sections to my css files:
1) Site structure (main divs, body, anything that defines the major
areas of the site like header, footer, nav, body, etc.) --- another way
to think of this is anything that defines a physical box that stuff
goes in. I never have more than 5 or 6 defs here.
2) Styles specific to the boxes above. This is where stuff like
#navPanel h1 would go, etc.
3) Overrides to default html: this is where h1, h2, h3, p, li, ul,
fieldset, etc definitions go.
4) Custom classes/ids that are not specific to a box but are
site/page-wide.
This has worked out the best in terms of editing and going back later
to see what I did.
