i'd like to assure myself that there is experience here on
the issues with using stylesheets across many documents.

how would you sum up _the_major_question_, and answer it?
what problems typically arise?  what are some workarounds?
when/how/why do workarounds cause their own problems?

anyone who has worked extensively with stylesheets knows
their magical power is typically matched by an ornery ability
to mess things up too, and very badly.  is that expertise here?

please, someone, show me that it is, with a detailed treatment.
(or else i will have to come in and give one, and you all know
how insufferable my superior tone can be, right?).  thank you.
