For me, it's been best to start with a CSS file that parallels the HTML
file - you know, styles for HTML and/or BODY, then styles for any
positioning DIVs, and work my way down - and always set an attribute as
high up the chain as possible.
Then, when it's working the way it's supposed to, I go back through the
CSS, searching for duplicates, then decide if I really need that duplicate.
But I try to keep my HTML as simple as possible; working my way might
not be so easy with a complex HTML document.
