>yeah, it cascades up the tree... oh well... i'll save it for a later

in your test, you used <table class="data">, right?
now, why do you suppose this cascaded up the tree?
a bug, shurely
try some other css specification, such as
.data instead of table.data
#data instead of table.data
a not-as-likely-a-keyword instead of "data"
