+```css
16

18
+ margin-left: 1em;

+And a skin has:
23
+
24
+```css
25
+div.foo {}
26
+```
27
+
28
+Then Fossil will *not* emit its default rule and the user's copy will
29
+become the only definition of that CSS rule. This is different from
30

31
+in, effectively, the top set of rules being applied because the second
32

35
