The specificity of selectors in a web page's stylesheet(s) increases until the stylesheet is so fucked up someone starts using !important.

T'as pas encore essayé de restyler un checkbox avec Firefox 3.5, toi.

If only most web agencies actually knew what CSS specificity even was.
That said, there are legitimate uses for !important too.
You forgot to mention the Mozilla toolkit
Guilty as charged.
