Kevin,

Whilst you are certainly correct that CSS behaves in this way, it is not due to 
the 'cascade', which is commonly confused with what you're actually talking 
about: inheritance. The cascade refers to interactions between the user's and 
the author's style sheets, and the weighting of style rules. Although there's a 
strong link between the cascade and inheritance, they are 2 different things, 
despite the confusing naming.

See http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/cascade.html#cascade
