Shawn,
I think you missed the global div styles for menuman. Extending menuman
styles to use variants (vertical, horizontal, tabbed, rollover, etc.)
required the double class. At least that was the only reasonable
solution I found.

A global class name of 'horizontal' isn't very descriptive, and can
easily cause a conflict that is resolved improperly. I believe
specificity is very important when dealing with multiple stylesheets in
this proposal.

        Note the overrides in persistant.css, and the override in
        pagemaster.css.

I'm still learning things about cascade, so I might well be wrong.
