Not really on topic, but it's interfering with my development a bit.
I'm using Moz 1.3/Win 2k, and have the following declaration in my
user style sheet.
body.home[onload] {
min-width: 90% !important ;
font-size: 100% !important ;
}
It's there to defeat the machinations of a certain dev site, and it
works great. However, it is affecting other pages, too, preventing me
from ensuring flexibility in my sites. I thought the rule would only
apply to the body element whose class was "home" and whose onload
attribute was set. But it is affecting the min-width on www.julietremblay.com, where neither onload nor class are set (but id
is assigned "main"). Any ideas why?

Maybe it's a failure of imagination on my part, but why ever would
you have a problem with either of those -- other than on grounds
of redundancy, of course.
I don't quite understand your question. If you mean, why would I need
them in my user stylesheet, it's to defeat a font-size: .8em and a
fixed width layout on the netscape devedge site.
If you mean, why would that cause problems with my own development,
it's because I was testing a thumbnail gallery which did not collapse
in as it should have. It took a bit of playing around before I
realized that it was my user stylesheet that was causing it. Not a
huge problem, but I want to see my sites more or less as others see them.

Bad phrasing, sorry. What I meant to say was: How would specifying
either of those ever create a problem? I just can't think of a
scenario where min-width: 90% or font-size: 100% on <body> would
break anything that wasn't already badly broken, let alone on <body
class="home" onload="somethi ng">.

Now it's my turn to say I don't understand. :-) Maybe this isn't
worth pursuing -- I understand you're not asking for help on this
point, and I have none to offer. I'm curious because I think I might
learn something.

So, there I am working on a gallery of thumbnails, e.g.
< http://www.julietremblay.com/portfolio/b.html >
(See other posts in ciwas. No, really, see them. And help me! lol)
I wanted to make sure that, as I narrowed the window, the gallery
would shrink in width with it. But no! It started to collapse, and
then froze, and the dreaded horizontal scrollbar appeared. "Why'd
that show up?" I wondered. Off to the bat lab. I looked at my code,
and couldn't see any reason why the gallery wasn't collapsing in
Mozilla 1.3. After some time, I thought I'd better look at my user
style sheet. And there is a min-width on body, but it should only
affect body class="home" onload="somethi ng". On the gallery page,
neither of those attributes are set; thus, it should not affect it.
And yet.

Often, a page will have more than one stylesheet. Some external and
some embedded.
If there are multiple rules that have *identical* selectors, will the
last one always take precedence? Any known instances where this is not true?
#section_1 DIV{color: red}
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
By selector I meant that part. And I mean identical selectors.
