Bug Description
Launchpad's style sheet currently is overly complicated:
* some rules are never used (e.g. .notforprint, .notforscreen, .hr)
* some rules are always overridden (e.g. hr, #portlets .portlet)
* there are several XXXs that need proper comments
* there are two conflicting sections for the columns in the normal page layout
* "!important" is overused
* IE6-specific rules are in the style sheet itself, while IE7-specific rules are in the main template
* people have piled on several rules at the end of the style sheet that really should be elsewhere.
Making the style sheet simple reduces debugging problems and makes Launchpad faster.
Style sheet length as of...

r6681: 1779 lines, including 8 uses of "!important".

Partly fixed in mainline r4911. Some work left to do.
